Re-doing Gas Pipes for Hob?

[adzyp]

Hi All,

We are looking at replacing our gas oven with an electric one and have found the oven that we want. The problem is, on the current oven it is angled at the back, but the one we want has a square back.

In its current state i don't think the new one will push all the way back as it will hit the current pipework for the oven/hob.

I have attached some pictures below, do you think it would be a simple job for someone to adjust the pipework for the hob so that it doesn't get in the way of the oven, whether it be a re-route or knock a bit out of the wall and sink it in?

Right now, the depth from the bottom of the T joint to the front of the cupboards is 56cm and the depth of the oven is 58cm.

Simple job but it needs an RGI. The exessive use of ptfe tape on the hob connection doesn't look too smart either.

Not fixing the wall plate to the wall looks suspect too.

Isolation point for the hob is where exactly?

DIY all the way I suspect

OP, why not google a different more compatible oven, and save the expense of a RGI?
The RGI could cut and cap the gas pipe in the next unit - or back near the gas meter if you are abandoning the gas pipe to the kitchen.
A good RGI would test the gas pressure before and after any work.

OP: get the oven you want and then get an RGI to adjust the gas supply to suit... simple!
