Before you apply
Photos or plans
Please upload any photos, plans or drawings that might help us to plan your work. You'll be able to do this on the application form.
Permission
The land that we need to access must be owned by you, or you’ll need written permission from the landowner for the work. If you need planning permission, or a local authority permit, please make sure these are in place.
Your quote
Apply online to get a quote to alter the gas connection to any single domestic property.
If your work is a standard connection, we’ll email your quote immediately. If you don’t receive a quote, it could be because the information you provided doesn’t allow us to create an instant quote.
Our specialist team will review your application and send a quote as quickly as possible. They’ll let you know if we need anything else.
This could apply if:
- You need more than 20 meters of pipe
- You live in a flat on the second floor or above
- You have a heated swimming pool
- You have 5 bedrooms or more
- You need an alteration to be able to turn your gas supply off more easily
Need to increase the capacity of your gas supply?
To increase or decrease the capacity of your domestic gas supply you will need to complete and submit a GT1 request.
If you are a business owner wanting to increase or decrease your gas supply please follow the instructions on our Business Connections page.
We’ll do all we can to make the job easy for you and your neighbours. We may need to close the pavement or road outside your house, but we’ll discuss that with you before we start our work.
No. Anything that we dig up to alter your gas connection will be tidied up within 5 working days of the job by our specialist reinstatement team. That includes holes in the road or pavement.
Most jobs can be completed within one day. If yours has special requirements and could take longer, we’ll let you know well in advance and discuss it with you.
In some cases, we can do this for a charge. We’ll discuss this with you before we arrange your work.
We’ll discuss possible dates with you and do whatever we can to plan the job for a date that suits you.
