Thanks for the reply :)
Maybe I'm missing something, but what's the purpose of the spigot? - why not a standard sealant and no spigot or is this purely to protect the pipe and not let the sealant come into contact with it?
What do you mean by that? It's a key-locked box on the side of the house with a meter and the pipe running through the wall (albeit not a sealed ingress point).
What's wrong with the setup and what do you advise? - is it really not simply a case of just sealing the hole and why not?
Do you need me to find out any more information on this?
As I said, he just told me that the hole needed to be sealed, stating that as the box is closed on the outside, that if there were a leak from that unit, the hole would allow the gas to pass inside the house cavity. So he told us to seal...
So my mum has splurged on getting a yearly check from British Gas as she's not that *handy* and they told her that the pipe going through from the meter outside needs to be sealed around the ingress hole.
They said it wasn't a big thing, that I could do it and pretty much any sealant would work...
