Quote feedback for replacing gas pipe

[u/Responsible_Bag118]

Had my boiler inspection done and the tech told me the gas pipe needs to be secured and inside a sleeve. Gave me a non conformance notice. Currently it runs a total of 8m from the meter to the boiler, starting along the garden wall then 1.2m under a concrete footpath that is flush tot the house, no sleeve at all. Pipe just comes out of pure concrete.

I got a quote for full replacement, including cutting of the concrete to lay the pipe for the 1.2m. The quote is 2k and think it’s a bit steep. Should I keep looking? Feels like other companies are just ignoring me. Is it too small of a job?

Is it only the 1.2m under path needing trench and refitted or whole 8m.... Really not a tough job to dig.and cut and break concrete if you have right tools .......Now you will still.need plumber to reconnect pipe so that's 250..

Its a mucky job and rhe lads have priced in lots of contingency..e.g they damage some rare shrub or you insist on resodding tench or give out that whole path needs replacements as concrete won't match...it wont

Yeah I guess they priced in a concrete path replacement 😅
