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.

    In the kitchens I've fitted the oven housings are constructed in just the same way as ordinary units (usually faced chipboard) - heat from the oven is dealt with inside the oven housing - mostly by spacing and ventilation. I don't think it would be a assumption that oven housing would be any more resistant to heat from the hob than any other kitchen unit.
