Firstly, I will stress I have no intention of doing anything myself, but I am hoping somebody can clarify the situation for me. I hope therefore this is not a contravention of the forum rules.
My fitted gas oven and grill developed a leak which was not repairable. The gasman capped the gas pipes, but said there may be an issue with a replacement as he cannot, by law, use a flexible hose.
The oven is built into a cupboard which I believe is fairly standard - a 570 by 890mm opening in 600mm wide units.
Before I buy a replacement, I need to know if it will be possible to fit a gas oven if the information about the pipes is correct. I have tried contacting several local gas fitters, but have had all my Emails and phone messages ignored (This is not really a moan, I realise they are all going to be very busy with the cold snap and peoples heating).
My alternative will be an Electric oven, but I'd then need to get the power socket in the kitchen upgraded , and TBO, I'd prefer gas.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
