The fact that the engineer installed the hob and fixed the leak for £200 highlights the first company were rip off merchants!
Send a letter before action immediately to the firwt company givng them 14 day to refund the £500 otherwise you will take them to court. State that you have also reported their dangerous practice to gas safe, and also had a reputable emergency engineer fix their leak and carry out the installation for £200, so if it goes to court, you will also be pursuing them for the extra £90 the job has ended up costing you to fix their mistake.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')

No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
It's perfectly possible that the gas supply was already in a dangerous state and that even a competent, non rip-off RGI would have encountered a gas leak when connecting up the gas hob. However that doesn't justify leaving it in a dangerous condition.No free lunch, and no free laptop
