Why Replace A Broken Gas Meter Box?

Your damaged gas meter box will be leaving your meter unprotected.
Your gas meter box door is broken, which looks unsightly.
Your gas meter box lock is broken.

There are a variety of reasons you may need a gas box replacement; using this handy guide will make the process as simple as possible for you.

Steps To Replace A Broken Gas Meter Box…

Your current meter box will likely be held in place by 3 widgets. If these have not already fallen out or been lost, remove them.
Your meter box cover will now be easy to pull off, leaving the backplate fixed against the wall.
Using our gas surface mounted meter box Mk2, you will simply be able to fit this to the existing backplate, using your three widgets to secure your new meter box in place. It couldn’t be more simple!

We do offer an alternative solution for replacing a damaged gas meter box Mk2. This is using the metal hook over gas overbox, which fits to the existing backplate.

This will simply need to slide this over the existing backplate.
You will find there are two points at the bottom to fix it to the brickwork.

Both these offer a long-lasting and cost-effective solution to fixing a broken gas meter box. Don’t spend unnecessary money replacing the entire box through a gas engineer! If you do have any questions on how to replace a gas meter box, or require further assistance, do not hesitate to get in touch.

- Mr Papworth from Lymington

GREAT SERVICE

Arrived earlier than expected well packed and as described - contacted seller to request black fitments instead of white with black casing and supplied no problem - I’m well pleased.

- ANNE WILLIAMSON

Items arrived early. The lock components from my meter box were missing and the door was swinging in the wind. 30 seconds later the new lock was fitted and the door was shut. Excellent result

- Anthony Cave

Great Meter Box Cover

My old door was cracked, hinge was broken and it fell off on windy days! The cover I purchased was the perfect size with a cm spare around the old frame. It is well engineered (door swapped to open other way in less than a minute) and well made. My rendered wall was way off flat but the cover was easy to contour (I used a multi tool). The job was finished with a bead of silicone

- Mr Miller

Fantastic Product

Exactly what I needed. I needed to cut out a portion of the lower edge due to cabling entering the box. There was a template already there to cut out. Nice tidy and watertight after a bit of silicone sealant round the sides. Result. Happy customer

Thanks for the fulfilling the above order, can’t fault anything

Hello, Just wanted to drop you some feedback re the above order. The delivery was as you said as was the product. Being honest I was a bit sceptical about it taking 30 mins to fit from looking at the video, but it did and was really easy to fit. It quickly and easily turned a battered meter cabinet into one that looked brand new, and does exactly what I wanted it to do at a very competitive price. Have recommended your company and the cabinet to a couple of people already, who looked on in interest whilst I was fitting it. Cheers.
