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.

    Back when I was fitting kitchens there were several occasions when the gas fitters refused to connect the new hob in the kitchen unless they disconnected the gas fire in the lounge first.


    Why would they need to do that???




    Presumably the gas fire was considered dangerous, and the gas fitter feared that he would be liable for any subsequent accident if he left it in use.
