Gas fitter wanted

[spionfox]

Anything not done by a registered fitter is illegal.

I won't argue with you because I am ignorant of the facts, but I'm sure the regulations make mention of a 'competent' person rather than a registered gas fitter.

I bet the people at the Hare Krishna temple thought their gas was being handled by a competent person.

From the Gas Safe website ..

It is against the law for anyone to do work on gas appliances in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man or Guernsey unless they are Gas Safe registered

Thanks SJN - they even have a link to find someone in my area.

It's not worth pissing about to save money when the consequences of doing something wrong can be fatal!

Glad to have been of assistance.

I know I should really ask a 'proper' person Bob, but......... :icon_wink

My hob will be installed over a normal drawer unit - the oven is elsewhere in the kitchen. Do the regulations allow a hose under those circumstances?

It looks as though they do but it is not recommended. Hoses are for appliances that can be moved; others should be solid piped.

I don't think it will be as expensive as you might be thinking. Now that you have a list of Gas Safe fitters you can ring a few, tell them the job and how far it is away from the supply; they should be able to give you a price before you even invite them to your house.

It was a big feckin calor gas cannister in the kitchen which somebody unclipped and didnt turn off.

If you could ask him and send me a PM that would be great!

I think it might be too small a job to come over from Sileby though!

:icon_sad: Sorry mate but you were right a bit far for him to come.
Sorry about that :icon_wink

My mate in Fleckney (ex-Oadby) is a plumber who I think was certified for gas installation. His company used to be called All Plumbed but I can't find it online. Don't know if he's changed it or what. I should see him next week as I'll be back town.
