Disconnecting gas hob. Can I do this?

[FizzPop]

I have a gas hob I no longer want as I’m replacing it with an induction hob when I fit the new kitchen.

I’ve attached a pic of the isolation valve tap that goes to the hob.

Can I simply turn off the supply at this tap and disconnect the gas pipe to the hob or is this something I need to get a qualified professional in for regs etc?

Thanks in advance.

Hopefully he or she will have a heat mat if they solder.

Thought so. Just wanted to double check. I’m competent enough to do the work but I also want it to be safe and above board. Thanks.

I know. Haha

You should see the rest of the house. Absolute cowboys who fitted all this (new build ten years ago).

Your gas bod may also have something to say about the proximity of the cooker outlet to the gas pipe .

A random google (because I can't be bothered to look it up) on the topic gives
