Of course I should have mentioned - it's rendered on the outside! I was thinking only in terms of any added strength, but I guess in such a small aperture it...
for anyone interested - found some gas ducting on fleabay. And Richard, if you haven't had your meter installed yet - I would advise you to read the letter...

Looking at the red wire in the second picture I'd say there ought to be some evidence - in the form of a rigid, dead mouse nearby! Nick Nick Laurie PC Repairs ...
