Had a gas safe guy turn to check my house as I need a gas safe certificate.
He found a problem with the hob, it had a flexible gas pipe instead of a solid one. I was a bit dubious but after a google search it seems others have changed for the same reason.
What I have more of an issue with is he said by rights I should disconnect this cooker. However I’ll keep it on if we arrange for me to do the work.
I said I would want to get quotes for the work. He said i will have to disconnect your hob then. I have lodgers so this is an inconvenience for others.
It was £80 inc parts and labour. I’m gonna get the work done but I’m a bit annoyed as to his ‘approach’ to getting the work. It was probably the way he said it, which was a touch on the aggressive side rather than apolgectic or matter of fact.
Any thoughts?

I would be suspicious about that. I have no idea as to whether he did need to disconnect you or should have just required you to have the work done within a certain time but to say as he did sounds dodgy. I have to have the landlord gas certificate as well due to having a lodger but have never had to have the supply turned off.
