What happens when you come across a gas pipe that someone else must of damaged once upon a time as on this pipe you uncovered doing your work there is a join that dose not look professional, so you called it in. How can they charge you? would they forensically examine the join so as to blame someone or will they just fix it and put it down to unknown work/people ?

Years ago the water board was putting a new main in down our street and at 6.00 pm when our heating was supposed to come on nothing happened. I went outside and looked down the hole and there was our gas pipe, the end doubled back with a Jubilee clip holding it. The digging crew had knocked off at 3.00 pm and gone and left it and it absolutely stunk of gas. I phoned the gas and they were there in 20 minutes with no smoking signs and had to dig half way across the road to where it had also pulled out of the main. I complained to the water board about the shoddy treatment and they brought the bloke who did it and he apologised but then they did it twice more on the way down the street.
