PS. The National Grid website seems very much 'under construction' at present. (Lots of dead links and such - and scarcely any useful contact info.) Duke

I need to get a 2nd gas main supply installed. I looked for Transco's webside, but it has ben replaced by "he National Grid" website which doesn't seem to provide contact details for someone wanting a new gas supply.



Anyone know the correct number to call?



Thanks,



Duke

That depends on where you live, assuming you really do want a gas main.

If you want a gas supply to a building then that should be arranged via your gas supplier.

All I really wanted was a second meter, (my house is divided into two one-bed flats) My gas supplier today said I would first have to contact Scotia Gas Networks (the co that suplies gas to all of Southern England) to start the ball rolling. After Scotia Gas had sent a bloke around to se the place, he said they would contact them with a pipe number and they (my gas supplier) would come and install a meter. I was hoping to avoid the expense of having a second mains supply pipe coming from the road, but it remains to be seen what Scotia Gas will allow. If anyone knows a clever way to avoid the expense of a second gas main from the road, please let me know!

They've just cashed my cheque last week for a meter move - any guesses how long they'll take before they come and sort it out.

*BRRR* Thank god its not really cold.

I emailed National Grid stating where I am and they replied "Not Us! YEDL covers your area" or words to that effect.

Speak of the devil! The bloke turned up this afternoon and has given me a date for moving the meter. Hurray!

Is that place gas-fired now? They must just sit around if they do not have to stoke the fires anymore. Scargill has got a lot to answer for!! ;-)

Interested in knowing what the cost will be ? Robert

Just over £500. There's a list of prices available for all the different bits on the national grid gas site
