Do, he’s damaged the piping in the kitchen when replacing piping into the smart meter, so Cadent have condemned the entire thing. They’ve shut her house off from the gas supply entirely. She’s in a council house, so they’ve been around and taken pictures, and because of where her meter and the pipes are they have to rip out all of her kitchen cabinets to access the pipes to locate the point of the leak. They’ve put washers in, but apparently the pipes have all been moved out of place and something has been moved and not fitted properly.
The cabinets have to come out before the gas engineers will do anything, but the council won’t move the cabinets until ‘some time next week’. Until then she’s got no hob, heating or hot water.
She phoned the supplier (‘Eon Next’ she wrote, not sure if that’s an Eon offshoot or a typo), and she keeps getting ‘cut off’.
