Back to back meter move in Berkshire

[Resolute]

You won't find a gas installer who can legally move your meter no matter what MET tickets they have. It belongs to the network supplier and work can only be carried out by someone working with their authority.
Your £800 quote is ott. You have not asked for the right thing or someone didn't understand what you were after.

Here are some links

Tamz, I might be wrong (usually am), but I thought MET1 allowed you do move the meter? Or does it only allow you to move it with the suppliers permission?

Sorry to the OP if I've mislead you.

Meter tickets only allow you to work on meters with the suppliers permission ie working for them or one of their subbies like United Utilities, Carillion, Enterprise, Turriff etc. It is all a load of b****x.

Scotia are more expensive than national grid. Their std charge should be £660 if they are reconnecting it but they will add a bit more for a semi concealed box as it will also need a different meter.

Met 1 does allow you to " change " the meter but looking at ops pic and the fact the want semi concealed met 1 does not allow you to touch the service so a gas engineer cannot touch it has to be transco or however they are now

I was thinking that someone with MET1 could move the meter outside. Appreciate that you couldn't use a semi con box but you could do a wall mount one?

I'd happily forgo a sem-concealed box if it saved money!

You could do the meter and the box but you could not do the service to the box do you still have to pay " transco " who would do it all in one hit anyway so what's the point

But what I had in mind you wouldn't touch the service. Just pipe from the ECV, through the wall to a secondary ECV then reg, and meter?
