Anyone experienced in getting gas connected?

[Alan_G]

Hey guys,

Just a quick one to see if anyone knows about getting a new gas supply connected. So far I have Scotia Gas Networks coming out a week on Monday to dig up the path outside and connect Gas to my house.

Then I have a plumber coming a week later to fit some radiators and boiler etc.

I just got the confirmation letter from SGN regarding connection which says I now need to contact a gas supplier to get a meter fitted and it may cost money?

I am so confused, I thought these guys connected me to the gas and put in the meter, the plumber did the rest and I contact a gas supplier to make sure its all legal and I am paying someone?

Its already costing me an eye watering amount for such a small place, didn't realise I had to pay THREE different companies for one result

Anyway is this correct and am I doing it right? I assume I need the meter set up before the plumber comes?

I am awaiting a call back from the power company to discuss things, so just thought I would ask in here while I wait.
