You can pay online, by cheque, credit card or EFT and return the signed contract to us.

We will apply for this if required.

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.

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.

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.

1 week after request

Any reinstatement works will be carried out when the job is completed.

The total timeframe is up to 12 weeks for small and medium businesses and up to 20 weeks for large businesses
