Hello all - just registered hoping someone can help me with a bit of a quandary. I'm not a tradesman nor do I wish to DIY anything connected with gas/plumbing/electrics.
My wife and I are in the process of looking for a new cooker. The present one is electric but we are probably going for gas this time. Some issues though:
There is no gas in the kitchen, but the gas meter is in the dining room next door. There is a doorway(!) between the dividing wall of the two rooms and no real way of running the gas pipe inside. Is it feasible to run the pipe through the outside wall at the meter and past the doorway at ground level?
Another question if I may. The bottom of the electric cooker control switch is about 590 mm above the cooker hob height and about 100 mm of its width is actually above the cooker. The tiles behind the cooker rise to 500 mm above the cooker hob. The wall above the tiles is painted wallpaper. Would any of these issues prevent a gas safe fitter installing a gas cooker and issuing a safety certificate?
I feel a bit cheeky asking for free advice but the only advice I've had so far is from Currys/Comet sales people!
Thanks very much
