How much is a gas box cover replacement?
What does a gas box cover replacement cost and is this something I can do myself?
Expert Trade Answers
"If you buy just the meter box cover or door yourself (and install it yourself), typical prices are roughly:
Replacement gas meter box door/cover: ~£20 – £100+
Lid/overbox to cover a damaged existing box: ~£35 – £110+
Full box or overbox unit (if the whole thing is replaced): £80 – £150+
If your gas distributor or a professional tradesperson supplies and installs the cover or door for you (so you don’t have to fit it yourself), typical costs in the UK are:
Northern Gas Networks
Supply and install replacement meter box door: ~£105 – £110
Supply and install surface-mounted meter box: ~£160 – £165
Repair only (no full replacement): ~£85 – £90
These prices include labour and part supply."
