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.

    In my youth, I recall some student housing with shared kitchens/common rooms equipped with gas cookers. These were maintained under contract with the gas board.

    On many service visits, it was found that the lightweight steel fretwork in the gas grills had burnt out. The blue gas flames impinged upon this fretwork which glowed a bright red.


    The gas company engineer enquired of the residents "do these get a lot of use" and was told that they were normally lit in October and turned out at Easter ! There was no other heating.
