A neighbour phoned us to inform us that he could smell gas from my wife`s fathers house.
My wife went over and sure enough evidence of the obnoxious odour could be detected emitting from the gas meter cupboard on the outside of the house. She turned the gas off at the valve and she is sure that the leak stopped and the smell was no longer present.
Before we inform the relevant authorities tomorrow (and in preparation of the possibility of having my pants pulled down by tradesmen/the gas company capitalising on the fear of blowing up the whole neighbourhood) does anyone know where my responsibility starts with regard to repairs and maintenance, ie: the supply pipe to the meter from underground, the meter itself, or does it start at the meter supply outlet pipework? The meter belongs to the gas company so i wouldn`t expect to have to pay for maintenance on that i would think?
