Move Your Gas Meter or Change Your Supply
This page covers changes to an existing gas supply: moving a meter or altering the pipe to your property and diverting a gas main if you're carrying out building work nearby. Choose the option below that matches you, and we'll take you straight to the right section.
For Households
Meter move or pipe alteration
If you want to move your gas meter or make changes to the supply pipe to your home (for example, to make way for an extension), our team can guide you through it. Altering a domestic connection starts at £1,000 (plus VAT) and typically takes 6–8 weeks from payment to completion, in the same way as a new connection.
Main diversion
If you're planning building work near one of our gas pipes and think it needs to be moved, this falls under a mains diversion. Because every diversion is different, we'll provide a bespoke quote once we understand the scope of work.
For Businesses & Multiple Homes
Meter move or pipe alteration
For a commercial premises or a site with multiple units, the £1,000 (plus VAT) starting price still applies as a baseline, but larger or multi-unit jobs are quoted individually once we understand the scale of the work.
Main diversion
For development or construction projects requiring a main to be diverted, get in touch and we'll scope out a bespoke quote and timescale.
