Moving gas shut off, whose responsibility?

[HotJambalaya]

Just wondering, I have a flat with a gas shut off in the dead space in a kitchen corner. From memory thats also where the gas meter is, which means every time it needs reading the washing machine needs to be pulled out. Since I'm demolishing the kitchen now, it might be a good time to move it to the entry hall cupboard. I just don't know if I can go ahead and do that, or if it needs me to get Transco or someone like that involved?

thanks, some good lines of thought there. In fact, the washing machine has to be pulled out, you then have to crawl into the space and shine a torch through a little gap. The shut off itself pokes into the area the washing machine is in, so previously after a few loads and a shaking machine it would slowly close the gas off!
