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.

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.
