It depends what other appliances you have,if you have a C/H boiler and/or a fire,there will be a `T` at some point where the cooker pipe branches off.If it`s too difficult to find,just get it capped where you initially wanted. But any Gas Registered Engineer should be able to trace the pipe and...

There isn`t usually a problem with gas pipes behind an oven,whether gas or electric(as long as it isn`t a rubber gas cooker hose),check the instructions that come with the oven for any clearances required,you could ofc install a gas hob if the kitchen is suitable. Yes the pipe could be capped...

Why do you think this regulation is in place then kirk,you think someone just picked a number out of thin air? It`s not an assumption,there`s always enough air entering a room to allow a 7kw or below flued space heater to be fitted and used(as long as it`s fitted and/or checked by a suitably...

It could be the thermocouple or the thermo-electric valve,I`m not sure of the set up on these units.To repair you`ll need a gas safe registered engineer,tell him the fault and ask for a rough price for supplying and fitting any parts.It may well be cheaper to install a complete new hob.

In days of yore,there wasn`t such a thing as certifying appliances and yes we either fixed them or cut them off. When doing a landlords gas safety check,the engineer doesn`t actually have to fix any faults,he`s just there to make a report as to whether everything is ok and inform any...

Yes it will follow the same programme week in week out.Remember to alter the time of day on it when the clocks change. The battery is there so that if you move it to a different socket you don`t have to reprogramme it,battery life is usually about a week and yes it does recharge,but like all...

Most built under ovens have extra space at the rear sides,so you can get almost anything to fit if you get the gas pipe altered and fitted right into the corner.

It could be a stuck or broken ignition micro-switch or a faulty ignition generator.Either way it needs a Registered gas engineer to fix as it will require dismantling the hob.Approximate cost £60 to £100. You can pick up a decent hob for around £100 these days so probably not worth repairing...

Don`t use 8mm,use 10mm and get the plastice coated stuff.

This is a Fire we`re talking about,not a stove. Below 7kw,adventitious air is all that is needed for a flued space heater. Any other Registered installer want to back me up here? Where do you live?On top of a mountain? :P

Are you sure that,that is an actual chimney?the type of flue fitting you have their(letter box)was outlawed more than 20 years ago but I have seen these things fitted straight into a cavity wall sometimes.The first thing you should do is get someone in(builder/gas fitter)to knock out most of...

If the rated input of the fire is below 7kw,no additional ventilation is required and the vent can be blocked up.If you can`t find the data badge where this info is,get a Gas Safe Registered engineer in,he will be able to rate the fire manually and further advise you.

Contact Gas Safe either online or by phone.They can put you in touch with a suitably qualified engineer in your area.

Foam expands,that could lead to problems. Silicone sealant would probably do it,just do a bit at a time and gradually build it up.It would also give with the expansion and contraction of the C/H pipes.

When you can pick up a new hob for for around £100 or less,it`s seldom worth repairing them.Buy a battery operated hand held electronic igniter for about a tenner,until you replace it.

Any gas fire with a rating of over 7kw requires a permanent airvent leading directly to outside air. Check the Data badge if you can find one,it should be on the bottom plate of the fire and it should tell you the rating. You say it`s an open fire,which leads me to think the fire you have...

Have you tried tightening all exposed compression joints slightly,it doesn`t need to be a very big leak to lose the pressure in a system,be careful if you do it yourself and use 2 spanners,1 to tighten and 1 to hold against. It`s possible,just possible there is a pinhole in the diaphragm in the...

Get a Gas Safe Registered Engineer in,if it is the valve you already know the approximate price plus labour.

A system boiler and a regular boiler are the same thing.Not to be confused with a combi(combination) boiler. As for recommending one,I wouldn`t dream of stepping on the toes of the many installers here who have many and various different opinions.But I have always installed Worcester Bosch...

Highly unlikely to be the valve as they usually work or don`t work,unless it`s a faulty electrical connection to it somewhere.I also don`t think the 401 had an oxypilot.From your description it sounds more like a gas supply or combustion problem,either way you need someone to give it a thorough...
