Cadent has recently replaced all the gas-pipes on our West London housing estate.
since then, I have noticed a conciderable amount of 'Wire drawing' causing low gas pressure

Better than having your house explode. E.g. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-58962007

Um, association ≠ causation. By what mechanism do you think cable drawing might be affecting your gas supply?

I'd have thought first course of action would be to get a gas fitter to do a pressure test, then check with published spec. If low you can ask Cadent to fix it, if within spec there's less you can do. It's also possible the pressure is ok but pipework in your property is marginal, and an upgrade would fix issues.

If the problem was caused by a too small diameter pipework, then a
static pressure test might not show the problem, since the result would depend on the demand at that point in time.
As the inadequate pipe might feed a number of houses, the demand would
be known.

Yep. A pressure test at a time of peak demand is what you need. Not unknown for pipework to an area to be undersized for the required gas supply.

Is there some kind of pressure gauge that could be installed so you could check the pressure at any given time? Then you can send a photo to Cadent
as evidence.
