You could use something like Conel Care 270 that’s designed for oil boilers and gas boilers which have a silicium or stainless steal heat exchanger

Discovered this beauty today, the guy I'm working for the next couple of days had called up saying he could hear water running under the decking when using the kitchen sink. Was convinced it was just a 5minute job 'pushing some pipes back together'. I insisted on going round and lifting the boards up before I would give him a price as I'm used to these things being a can of worms. The cowboys that did the decking had bodged a pushfit waste pipe into solvent weld fitting, held in place with ptfe tape and not a clip in sight. Then at the other end which is shown in this pic, the jokers that rendered the side of the house had filled it in with render and then put the decking boards back up to hide it.
After a bit of excavation I eventually found some indication of a drain being under that mess:
I really don't know how people that work like this can sleep at night!

Just had a call from a landlord of mine that has had a dissappearing tenant and wants a hob removing. Turned up to find this and the gas board had turned the gas off to the property. Not one of mine Ron but this is what I deal with on a regular basis. Not sure if you can see from the picture but the cooker hose is also not even located in the bayonet fitting.

Shocking shoddy work mate. What did you do with the ho , did you turn it off? Or did you just AR it?
I had recently a free standing cooker and I had no stability brackets, no stability chain, cooker not levelled, bayonet not 750mm from floor, and too close to the worktops no space. I was unsure about the judgement and called gas safe and they said to all not NTC ;/ weird .. I learned different things
It is all out mate. New Hob going in next week with butterfly isolation in the cupboard and new rigid pipework to Hob.

That’s the way forward harvest. I had a similar case recently where a customer had few engineers who apparently checked for a gas leak but couldn’t find it. I went out for a blocked sink and as soon as I walked in i said you have got a gas leak. So, i started With letby and tightness test and it dropped immediately. Turned out to be the hob and i turned it off.
Why did you need to phone GS? Only thing potentially above NTCS is if it was too close - and then only with signs of distress. Not all cookers need any space.
This will make you laughter look what I saw today called in to see my electrician mate on a job this is a new heating first fix pipework install shocking in my opinion and a disaster waiting to happen some people !!!

I phoned because I wasn’t sure how to judge this therefore I called them up. The way it looked and was installed, i would have AR without second thought. I phoned the cooker company and made sure about the space though.

Oha, that Must have been done by someone who is a diyer or doesn’t care at all. There is absolutely no pride behind the work.
