Gas Appliances Regulations

Hello.


We've just moved into a property and are looking to install a new kitchen. A salesman from a retailer took one look at out existing configuration of gas appliances and said this is a dangerous/illegal set up because of the distance between the two appliances. Does this sound correct. Obviously worried about using the ovens now.  Thanks in advance.

  • The installation pictured is in my view low risk because the oven is intended to get hot and is therefore constructed in fire resistant materials.

    I would be far more concerned if a wooden or plastic cupboard or other furniture was that close to a gas hob.


    If it was the existing arrangement in my own home, I would be inclined to tolerate it. But no way would I install it like that.
