Helping customers navigate the market

As many of British Gas Businesses customers have often not been previously involved with arranging metering works, the initial challenge with a new request is working with the customer to ensure they understand the requirements and helping them navigate the often complex connections process from the outset of the project. This includes managing expectations in regards to lead times to ensure we are working together to reach the desired result within timescales.

Expert support

Another frequent challenge we often face is liaising with Gas Transporters/IGTs to ensure we are completing all relevant pressure and capacity checks, as their lead times can be extensive depending on the particular area the site is located. However, we have established strong industry relationships throughout the years, allowing us to quickly highlight particular sites that require urgent assistance in order to meet customer deadlines.

Design capability

We are frequently required to come up with simplified solutions to complex metering installations. This can be from completing metering installations in difficult or restricted locations to establishing a more efficient design solution to a customer.

Happy clients

We have completed 34,000 jobs for British Gas Business, helping our client build its reputation and relationships with its UK customer base through our solutions. During the 10 years we have worked for British Gas Business, we have become a key provider of services for any industrial, commercial, or private sector gas metering job.
