I'm buying a new freestanding gas cooker - do I have to have this fitted by a Corgi installer. I have the bayonet fixing on the wall and the hook that the chain from the cooker will attach to. Can I just by the hose (C2 Kit they used to be called) and fit this to the cooker and plug it in by the bayonet fixing to the wall? If I have to get an installer - how much should I expect to pay roughly?

yes you can have you the faintest what the hell to do next
price = shedloads of your hard earned bonny lad
Has far as i'm aware you need it done by a Corgi installer "remember Sinbad in brooky"
When I had mine done four years ago it cost me £95 for 10mins work. If you don't have it done they have got you by the B***s for insurance and all that. I have just been stitched by not using A corgi registerd fitter to do me C/H.
I think they are called Corgi because they must live the same lifestyle as the queens dogs with the money they charge

payne166. what job do you do.
aye fella and it costs the reg installer £750 every 5 yr and £180 every year to keep his ticket
and before you get on the frikking band waggon no i aint but i have been and will be again
sorry for the flippancy guys. I appreciate you too get frustrated with all the changes in legislation and the costs that come with it. Why is it that with every law that comes in it comes with a price tag and it is the government that benefits?
It must also be frustrating being pushed out by the big boys who are usually the ones guilty of ripping people off and shoddy workmanship. To see a decent plumber at work is an artform.
Welstead, I don't think you will get an answer to your question from a real plumber, read fitz1's signature.
Fitz I'm not a tradesman as I supposed you guested.

No doubt he spent an hour or so traveling to and from the job, another hour trying to find somewhere to park (London) plus all his overheads.
probably find the poster is a Solicitor who charges £200 an hour

In answer to your question ... It needs to be installed by someone who is competent to do so.
Corgi's are competent in the eyes of the law by virtue of their training and certification. Anyone else would need to prove competence should the need arise i.e. If they blow the street up!
Judging by your question Welly I don't think we'd need Judge John Deed to rule that you are not competent to do the work.
Pay the cash and get a good night's sleep or DIY and risk sleeping forever

Nah, not enough herewith's and notwithstandings to be a solicitor, can't be a Doctor either as the spellings too good ... Hmmmnnnn ... An estate agent perhaps?
christ JD some bugger has seen the light

unless you can prove competantcy you must get a "corgi" type person to install it for you as the hose fitting MUST be checked properly
I wouldnt expect to pay mush more than 50 plus VAT to fit it (if its a brand new one if its a second hand one good luck in finding someone)
I hope that helps
