Ask your QuestionI have an new white box to go around my outside gas meter and I need someone to fit it as I believe the gas will need to be disconnected to do it.
Asked by Katie on 28th Aug 2019"Gas shouldn’t need to be disconnected. You should be able to cut around the box to make the box fit with a hacksaw."

This way you know your in safe hands as the gas meter once reconnected will be tested and purged. Hope that helps."
