Hi, newbie here, I've read tens of posts but still I can't get a clear picture of what needs to be done to fit a dual fuel cooker (gas hob) in my kitchen. Here's the situation: kitchen approx. 32m3 volume, it has no direct opening to outside air but instead has a window onto a "garden room" built in front of it. The garden room, size approx. 4x4x2.5m, is directly connected to the open air (NO DOOR, just a big arch >2m2). In the kitchen there is an extractor with switch on the wall, connected directly to outside air through the roof, no idea what kind of flow. The previous owner had a gas cooker in the kitchen, but when my new cooker was delivered the gas guy refused to install it because "the kitchen has no opening to the outside air".
Now: either the old owner had an irregular installation (possible), or the (young) gas installer didn't quite know his stuff. I have two questions:
1. What needs to be done to allow the installation of a gas cooker in the kitchen? Is the requirement of a "window or door directly connected to outside air" really absolute? Can't it be substituted by a big enough extractor or chimney?
2. Any honest, reliable gas specialist in Cambridge that I can contact for a second opinion?
Thanks
