My daughter rented a house off a housing agency and when she first moved in they arranged for one of their people to install her gas cooker. He used a fitting which was tightened up using a spanner rather than what I call a 'bayonet' fitting. The type that shuts its self off when you push/twist and pull the pipe away.
Now she is moving out she has asked for them to disconnect the cooker but they say they can't as its against the new laws that have come out. They say the 'bayonet' type fitting is illegal so she has to pay for a 'plumber', (their words), to come out and disconnect.
Where does she stand on this? Its not a 'bayonet' type its a swivelling union nut type of fitting. The housing agency worker installed it about 6 months ago, (don't know if he is 'Gas-safe' registered), so surely they should arrange for it to be disconnected safely as well?
Any help much appreciated. If she does get her own registered fitter what kind of cost to undo the union fitting and fit a blanking plug?
