This is a cabinet in my house near my front porch hiding some gas pipes. There used to be a lead pipe coming off the top pipe and going up into the ceiling in my hallway. We had that capped by a boiler engineer.
The engineer advised that as the bottom pipe is an old redundant supply, I need to get British gas out to cap the bottom pipe lower than the floorboards. Does anyone know, is this correct and how much would British gas charge ?
Googling seems to think if it's a live redundant gas supply British Gas might charge alot (£500 plus) but our engineer seemed to think they'd just do it complimentary?
(A meter is now outside our front door which goes up and over this old supply, and onto our new boiler) The capped bit of pipe connected the new supply to the old already existing lead pipes. After the cap was done we took away the massive lead pipe that was running up our wall
