How do I get a new gas connection for my business?

 

If you’re a business owner within the North West, North London, the East of England or West Midlands  and need to arrange a commercial gas connection, alteration or disconnection, we’re proud to offer a range of services.

Getting a new business gas connection with us is designed to be simple and straightforward. We understand that running a business takes up a lot of your time and you need your business gas connection to be carried out with minimal fuss, that’s why we take full control and make the process as easy as possible.

Here are the steps that we will take you through to get you connected. Don't worry, we’ll stay in touch along the way to make sure it's going smoothly and you’re happy with everything.

  • Apply

    Either fill in our online application form, or give us a call and we’ll work through your application with you.

  • Initial preparation

    Order your preferred meter from your gas supplier. If you would like to, and provided you follow our guidance, you can dig your own trench.

    Once we’re finished, we will re-turf, re-seed any grassed areas and replant any flower beds if we’ve disturbed them.

  • Asssuming you have the right of ownership of the route of the supply pipes we will need to take from the boundary to your property

What documents are required for a  commercial gas connection?

Other than the information detailed above, you won’t be required to provide any documentation before your connection work is carried out. We’ll provide you with a quote and once it’s been accepted and paid for, our delivery team begin to plan the work and the job will be completed in approximately 6-8 weeks. We always offer the earliest date available.
