Reasons Why You May Need a Gas Service Alteration
- Building a new property over existing service route: New construction often requires altering the existing gas service route to accommodate the new structure safely and efficiently.
- Building an annex: Adding an annex to your property may require relocating the gas meter to ensure it remains accessible and compliant with safety regulations.
- Building an extension over existing service route: Expanding your property over an existing service route often necessitates moving the gas meter and supply lines to prevent interference and maintain safety.
- Installing a swimming pool over existing service route: The addition of a swimming pool may require relocating the gas service route to avoid potential hazards and ensure compliance with regulations.
- Moving the existing supply to a safer location: Relocating the gas supply from potentially dangerous areas such as kitchens, toilets, bathrooms, or basements to a safer location.
- Wanting the meter and supply outside: Moving the gas meter and supply to an external meter box for easier access and enhanced safety.
