I realise the condition of the gas meter is not relevant to an EICR, but while testing at a consumer unit above the gas meter in the photo, I kept wondering about the inverted-U section of lead pipe between the meter and pipe going into the floor.
The pipe is in a position where it is liable to have stuff piled on top of it (essentially a broom cupboard off the kitchen). It appears to have a few knocks & dents. If this lead pipe fractures, apart from the consumer unit just above it, the CH boiler is just above that. The shut off value is at the back of the cupboard at the bottom.
Can anyone who dabbles with gas put my mind at rest and tell me the customer should not be worried?
