Meters aren't for measuring gas leaks. Get your pipework and appliances
pressure tested with a manometer and that will tell you if you have a leak.
Does your boiler have a pilot light?

Is any part of the pipe run from the meter to house buried?

In the US, a call to the gas utility will produce a tech
