competitive quotations
We access our industry accredited network
Many developers and contractors don’t realise they have a choice when it comes to gas connections. Going directly to the Gas Network Operator, Cadent, Northern Gas Networks, SGN or Wales & West Utilities, means accepting their standard quotation at their standard rate. There is no competition and no negotiation.
Gas network operators allow the market to operate competitively by permitting developers to use independent GIRS-accredited contractors rather than the GNO itself.
Connections2energy accesses this market on your behalf. We obtain competitive quotes from GIRS-accredited contractors for your specific project, appoint the best combination of price and programme, and manage the full delivery from GNO application to completion sign-off.
Independent contractor quotes regularly come in below the GNO’s standard rate; on larger commercial or residential schemes, savings can be significant. We provide a free, no-obligation quotation so you can see exactly what the open market delivers for your project. Contact our team to find out more.

common questions
Gas connections, your questions answered
Do your gas contractors hold GIRS accreditation?
Every gas contractor we appoint holds current GIRS accreditation. The Gas Industry Registration Scheme registration is required by all UK Gas Network Operators for mains connection and alteration works. Without it, a GNO will not accept or sign off on any gas connection works, regardless of how much has already been spent on a project. As a utility facilitator, we don't carry out the physical works ourselves, but we verify GIRS accreditation before every contractor appointment and audit it continuously throughout our working relationship.
Can you get competitive quotes vs the gas network operator?
Yes, and this is one of the most valuable things we do for clients on gas projects. Gas network operators allow developers and contractors to use independent GIRS-accredited contractors rather than going directly to the GNO for connection works. Going straight to the GNO means accepting their standard quotation with no competition and no negotiation. By accessing the market on your behalf, we obtain competitive quotes from qualified independent contractors, which regularly deliver better pricing and greater programme flexibility. Contact our team to find out what's possible on your specific project.
How long does a new gas connection take?
Timescales vary depending on the Gas Network Operator area, the scale and complexity of the connection required, and whether any network reinforcement is needed before the new supply can be provided. As a general guide, straightforward domestic or small commercial connections can sometimes be completed within a few weeks of application. Larger commercial or industrial connections, or those requiring mains reinforcement, will require more lead time and should be planned well in advance of your construction programme. The single most important thing you can do to protect your programme is to engage us early so we can submit the GNO application at the earliest opportunity and build the connection timeline into your programme rather than around it. Your account manager will provide a realistic, project-specific timescale at the quotation stage.
Can you manage gas alongside other utilities?
Yes and in most cases we'd strongly recommend it. One account manager handles all three utilities, all providers are coordinated against the same construction programme, and there is one point of accountability if anything needs resolving. Clients who have managed utilities separately before almost universally tell us they wish they'd used a multi-utility approach from the start. If your project needs more than one utility, speak to our team about what a coordinated package would look like for your specific scheme.
