Nope, their is no flexible pipe at all, thanks anyway, I phoned a guy at the big hardware chain here, their plumbing guy, he nearly freaked when I asked if it was safe, and said it was illegal, I don't think they make it easy for the home handyman here sometimes, I don't know of anyone who has that flexible pipe and bayonet fitting for their kitchen oven.

Going back to the stove thing. is it a freestanding cooker or a stove eg. 'Aga' or 'Rayburn'.
I would expect a stove of this type to be rigidly piped as they weigh a bl**dy tonne. Even moving them out of the way is a specialist job unless you can get car jacks under it or something as they are so heavy that they have to be dismantled.
Tell us the make / model and we can find out.
In any case if its rigidly piped you can't work on it yourself.

Yep, I'm not like you guys saying you came from places like Antarctica Yep, I've accepted now that because it is rigid pipe, I have to leave it alone, I'm just going to lay the Laminate flooring around it, and not worry about underneath it.
