Costs of connecting gas supply to a property

[aseriouslyblondemoment]

has anyone any experience of this?
the house hasn't any CH atm and as far as we are aware hasn't had a gas supply if at all for many years

Is there gas pipework and a meter already in there? If not, then it will be hundreds, possibly thousands depending on how far you are from the nearest connection. If there are the basics (a mains pipe leading to a meter) then I'm not sure it costs anything - but obviously you will have to pay a plumber to install a boiler and radiators.

this is what i was anticipating but i would imagine that the nearest connection would be close by as the majority of the neighbouring houses have been modernised
it has basically been in the same family for years so we're already planning for a full rewire as well as the costs of installing CH etc
and that's before i even mention the kitchen and bathroom
as you can tell we're currently number crunching before we place our offer!

Check where the gas is...in our village, it is at the main road at the top of a hill, and in 1990 British Gas wanted about £8k per house to bring it down to the village. Needless to say we all have oil, LPG, electricity or woodburners.

The small estate we live in (in a very large town) has no gas mains. We have been quoted thousands per house to pipe it from the main road, and on top of that is the cost of fitting a whole gas ch system.

What about electric wet heating? Or you can get quite decent electric dry heating now- we have old style storage heaters which are rubbish, but the company I work for has just started fitting new ones which look great and can work off a thermostat like gas or elec wet heating.

parents own a building that has gas in the flat upstairs but not in the shop downstairs. to get it put in cost just over £2k.

just noticed all your posts
many thanks,it gives me a much needed figure to bear in mind
