I may be being really dumb here, come across this today. ECV basically flush with the floor allthough perfectly accessible. then 2meters of lead pipe going out to the regulator through the meter sat on a shelf, then another GSR has piped 22mm away from it obviously in a strange route. Although clearly this all looks strange/wrong, I cant actually fault anything am i being stupid, it just looks so wrong?

Maybe they asked if the meter could be changed then found laterbone they weren’t going to do it etc
Done this job today, and you were bang on the money.... Just couldn't work out wtf was going on when i quoted it.
Do the national grid rectify old lead pipe and move the meter closer to the ECV for free normally? The custy asked if i knew as they hadn't pursued it but i have no idea....

only if its a standard ana away eg swap wont change unless its leaking or unsafe if its like yours
They may reposition that one. They will have to change the regulator and connecting to the lead will be more messing around than dropping the meter to the floor, and using an anaconda if the ECV. Easy to connect the outlet.
Unless there is an issue out of sight
