[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 21888, member: 175144"] The last time I had British Gas in our house they condemmed the gas fire and the boiler. They then called Transco to cut of the supply until I had it fixed - their estimate for updating the outlest came to just over £500 and they charged the wife £130 fo rthe call out and estimate . Its only when I went independent a week later I was advise the only problem had been a fault in the gas meter readings and a leaky neoprene seal on the meter outlet to the house (though they did recommend replacing the first three metres of copper to the boiler) Result was a bill for £174 and two hours work. Turns out it had been British Gas that had originally fitted this pipe in the first place for the last house owner, they had charged over £400 just over ten years ago. Naturally our supply is now one of their 'competitors'. I have yet to see the refund on their callout [/QUOTE]
