New Gas cooker being fitted... should I get certificate?

mickym

Hi,

I am looking to get a new gas cooker fitted soon.

I am looking at using my usual gas safe engineer to come and fit it.

Couple of things I wnted to check:

1) DO they have to provide a certificate of installation?

2) Do they have to use a new gas hose when installing a new cooker?

Our current cooker is very old so id imagine so is the pipe.

Thanks

Are you fitting a freestanding cooker or built in? If it's built in you will need rigid pipe not a flexi hose. I believe, and I could be wrong, that if you are invoiced on paperwork with a gas safe registration number on this may suffice.

freestanding.

I doubt you will get a cert
I always use a new hose

Kiran, you can use a hose on a hob unless the manu says it must be hard piped

I stand corrected, thanks for the info.

Check your fitter is qualified to fit just because he is gas reg doesn't necessarily mean he can gas safe Web site says what they are qualified to work on.

Yes you should get cert that confirms pressures meet what is in the cooker installation manual it can be combined with the invoice
