Probably nothing. However he is not gas safe or is qualified to work near gas. A gas distribution company would throw the book at him.

escaping gas under pressure will just burn/flare..Once upon a time plumbers would locate small leaks in gas pipes by holding a match near the joints, the leaking gas would ignite and you'd get a little flame at the bad joint.
But then I wouldn't put anything past a determined plumber!
its like a lingerin fart innit....Remind me why something inert is dangerous
well...if the inert gas is pre-mixed with oxygen....then its much more dangerous than just inert gas on its own....Depends which definition of inert you use.
Inert - not moving or inert - chemically inactive
inert gas as in `still` gas....like a pocket of gas....I'm happy to be guided by you Glenn
My assumption was that inert gasses were somewhat inert.
well it was...I'm just a little amazed why the question was raised in the first place??

I know exactly what you are......just hold on a mo...
i can see whats goin on here...
IM NOT A BLOODY PLUMBER!!!
What is the risk though?
then you`d smell it you div...What if the there was a fracture in the pipe under the paint and it expanded, he wouldn't look so clever then. What if there was a minute leak. It is not his place to risk lives.
lol.....I know exactly what you are......
Ok what i was meaning was still gas...Ah but the term 'inert gas' is normaly used to denote a gas which is chemically inactive, that is to say it is amongst other things not flammable.
If there is a leak it will catch fire and he can watch the little flame dancing in the breeze until he puts it out, not the most life threatening situation in the world.
As has been mentioned earlier, gas escaping under pressure will catch alight, gas which is relatively stationary and mixed with oxygen will explode.
then you`d smell it you div...
grow up kid....lol..What if you were in the room with him, your odour would mask it completely.
grow up kid....lol..
have a look through some of your past posts in here....lol..... divvy

have a look through some of your past posts in here....
you might want to edit them...before the crowd comes in for a look around in the morning...
anyway, whats your issue with tony?..
i know who i`d be backing....
OK thats fine.My issue with his suggestion, I have no issue with him. He does not know the condition of the pipe under the paint, nor is it a risk he can take. I am not going to edit it, it is my view and you have your view.
OK...pockets of gas then....lol...In the interest of being annoyingly pedantic I have to ask if a gas could ever actually be considered to be still?
Gases at 0K excluded of course
but as has already been pointed out (by myself & others)...a leak would menefest itself as a flame....nothing more....as long as pressure is maintained...My issue with his suggestion, I have no issue with him. He does not know the condition of the pipe under the paint, nor is it a risk he can take. I am not going to edit it, it is my view and you have your view.
trust me..there would be evidence that the pipework had been breached (smell)..or as we says...small flame...He would not of carried out a drop test though and would just be assuming the integrity..
No, its just a live supply in the event that someone wants it, there's never been a meter, I should perhaps tap off it into a boiler and a gas hob, just think, nobody would ever know!

No meter, no gas in the dwelling, remove some pant, why?
Bloody hell. Glennspark and an apology. Well sort of
I can't believe how much of a deal you are all making out of this, we'll I can actually.
i only asked what you would do with regard to sanding a bit of paint off the pipe, I've already established in going to bond it, I just wondered if anyone else had a better suggestion...
its like a lingerin fart innit....
