Up until such time as the gas central heating boiler and cooker were no
longer serviceable

Because those appliances were only ever installed in the first place,
in the reasonable expectation that gas would be supplied and paid
for in the normal manner. As evidenced by the presence of the meter.

Thus having invested their money in the boiler and the cooker, it is
not reasonable to expect the OP to suffer the financial loss
resulting from having to replace those appliances; solely as a result of
somebody else's incompetence. When they have taken all reasonable
steps to remedy the situation.
