Try this lot. If they can't help they will know who can. There are a few private companies doing gas supplies since privatisation. Not many people realise you don't always have use the network these days.

I've just tried transco website for a new supply to my house, 6 metres me to dig and fill £411-00 + vat even puts your property up on a map so you dictate location of metre.
11k I would dig by hand for that amount of work.
one of us has got the wrong idea!

Had a customer quoted by transco and it was about the 800 quid mark. A

Starting to see where the cost is coming from

hes applied for 3 u6 meters with external boxes

the boxes add an extra 1500 each from southern gas networks.

for a starters will be better to put the service into the damned basement.

Buy the boxes yourself from bes

No reduction in price if you have your own boxes with sgn!

getting him to get quotes from the independent installers

That's a pita, hopefully one of the independents is cheaper

Q - why is he getting 3x meters?

 

[AWheating]

biomass.

 

[Killy Bing]

biomass.

Ehhh!!!!

3 meters for the three levels and their own central heating systems.

just one will be in use for the moment.

 

[Ermintrude]

Is it just me but do everyone's installs sound more interesting than mine? Might move into oil country

Cheers for clearing that up, it's just you said earlier that you had the system piped indicating one system that's all

 

[Killy Bing]

Currently only the ground floor level is rented out.
as the others are rented then layouts will be decided and built to their specs

 

[Atouchofgas]

Sounds like a nice job

was just saying for £11k just for the gas mains, id have been looking at other sources that will save or even make me money.

im guess they did not price the gas main untill after the had the systems installed? best to plan ahead.

 

[Ermintrude]

Why not get one supply and sub meter with either credit or meters which have set limit and ll collects money in arrears monthly? Might make him £11k

no need to tell me!!!
they planned to use all electric till building control said no way.

ermi they want individual meters so they don't have the hassle of it.
i said just get a u25 and i would sub meter it.

District heating on rhi could double bubble?
