A question for plumbers! Where should the gas shut off valve be if its not next to the meter?

Author: I have a gas boiler right next to my kitchen sink and the gas meter is under the kitchen sink. My next door neighbour has the same type of old house and their gas meter & shut off valve is outside the living room window . My house was renovated before i move in so maybe thats why mines is where in the kitchen but i have no clue as to the shut off valve?
A plumber has just left coz he couldnt find it and i cant get my new gas cooker fitted.
It should be next to the meter by logic so it could be a "slave" meter being fed from a main one. Contact your gas supplier as this an accident waiting to happen if you develope a major gas leak!!! It needs to be dealt with as an emergency as you have no visible means of isolating the boiler if a fault occurrs.

That is scarey are you sure they installed one? Call the person that sold you the house and tell them what is going on and he can come in with the contractor if necessary and they will locate it for you.

It should be at the point of entry ,Or very close to it.

There has to be one on the inlet side of the meter. I believe that one time there used to be one incorporated in the elbow at the top of the pipe before it comes into the building needing a special key to turn it.
