Quotation received, make the payment, and sign the contract

Road Opening Licence application (if needed)

Work scheduled and completed
When we receive the signed contract and payment, we schedule the installation works to bring the service pipe up to your property's meter location.
Works for larger gas users require more extensive works.
Installation works certified
Your mechanical installer tests your equipment and pipework to complete the Declaration of Conformance which you provide to us. Your gas supplier then requests a meter fit from us.
Meter fitted and turned on
Our meter fitter visits your site to check the Declaration of Conformance and ensure everything is in order. Once satisfied, we will fit the gas meter and turn it on.
The total timeframe is up to 12 weeks for small and medium businesses and up to 20 weeks for large businesses
