Gas providers liability.

[Prawns25]

We’ve recently had a new gas main installed after a gas leak was detected in the pipe that supplies our home (a loose joint in the old steel pipe).

The network providers had to dig four holes in our tarmac drive so our previously undamaged drive, with patch repairs done, looks like a patchwork quilt. The providers tell me they are only liable for a patch job on the holes, is this true?

My logic makes me think that the driveway should be reinstated to its original condition.

Any ideas on this?

I think you'll get nowhere on this one. to be honest.

Just like them digging a hole on grass, they will cover back wont reseed..... if you see where im coming from.

When the utilities dig on the road, they do a crap job at filling the hole there, so i very much doubt they are going to re tarmac your drive.

 

You can try, but i think you have a 1 in a trillion chance.
