Gas Meter Repair Boxes by JML Hardware

Gas Meter Box Cover

Gas meter box covers are fitted to the outside of homes or businesses so that utility companies can gain access to your supply without needing to access the property. An external gas meter box also allows the utility company to check readings to ensure you are being charged correctly. For this reason, a gas meter box sited on an external wall needs to be safe, secure and weatherproof.

At JML hardware we are proud to be considered one of the premier suppliers of gas meter box covers in the UK. Being located on external walls means that gas meter boxes are regularly exposed to inclement weather conditions. Because of this they can sometimes start to look dated or worn which could make the outside of your home appear untidy.

To ensure we can always supply customers with the gas meter box cover they need, we stock a comprehensive range of models designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions. Included in our range are both surface mounted and recessed gas meter boxes, meaning whatever type of gas meter box cover you need, we have the answer.

Some of our more popular gas meter box covers are listed below, though if you can’t see the model that you need, contact our team and we will do our very best to manufacture and supply it. As one of the longest established gas meter box cover companies in the UK, we can deliver all mainstream sizes or bespoke boxes to almost anywhere in the British Isles. So, if you are in need of a gas meter box cover for the outside of your home, contact the team here at JML Hardware for a fast and affordable solution. 

How Do I Know If I Need to Replace My Gas Meter Box Cover?

As we highlighted earlier, gas meter box covers can suffer varying degrees of damage over a given period of time. If the damage is relatively minor, it may be possible to repair your existing box by fitting a new door or hinge. If the damage is more extensive, then the best option would be to fit a replacement box to keep your gas meter safe and secure. Among the reasons you may have to replace your gas meter box cover are:

• It is not possible to repair the damage
• Excessive wear and tear has resulted in it becoming tatty and unsightly
• It has suffered some form of vandalism
• Several of the parts are broken
• The door has fallen off

No matter what the reason is, if you find yourself in need of a replacement gas meter box cover, get in touch with the team here at JML hardware for a high quality affordable solution.

What are the Different Types of Gas Meter Box Covers?

There are two main types of gas meter box covers available to our clients, both of which can be fitted to residential and commercial properties these are:

Recessed Meter Boxes :As the name suggest a recessed gas meter box is designed to fit into recesses and gaps in your external walls. They can be built into existing openings of if you prefer you can create an opening for one.

Surface Mounted Meter Boxes:These boxes are usually found in a location where your utility service has been retrofitted to the property or in remote or stand alone locations.

The type of box you need will be dependent on your personal circumstances. If you are unsure about which type of gas meter box cover is best for you, our team are on hand to provide any advice you need. Contact our team today for all the details on our high quality and cost effective gas meter box covers. 

Can You Fit a Gas Meter Overbox Yourself?

If you have basic DIY skills it is possible to fit your own gas meter overbox as it is a fairly straightforward job. If you find yourself with problems when fitting your gas meter overbox, you can call our team for advice.

Just to be clear it is the responsibility of the property owner not the utility company to fit a gas meter overbox. The reason for this is that it is part of the buildings structure, which means whoever owns the building is responsible for fitting and maintaining the gas meter overbox.

JMLHardware Ltd made to perfection a bespoke 60 minute warrington-fire-tested-and-approved electric meters overbox for the entrance hallway (escape route) of a small residential building of 3 flats, approved by RBKC Council, London. They were good to deal with and communication was seamless overall. Highly recommended!

I wasted 4weeks awaiting a reply from Meterbox ,I contacted JML and got an answer to my question in 10 minutes…..after discussing my options I placed an order and received the box in 48 hours.
It is well designed and superbly constructed in aluminium with a grey finish ..This Company really is customer focused with an emphasis on good communications at all price points.
