gas cooker re-fit

[Framer]

can someone please explain the new gas regs

in a joiner by trade and in the past when fitting kitchens i have removed cookers and fitted new ones as part of the job.

i have not done any kitchens for over 15 years but ive now got one to do which involves the above but i have not found any clear information on the subject

if it is i am not allowed to do this could someone please give me a rough idea of how much to add to my quote for a gas safe fitter to come out and remove /re-connect

thanks

i charge 40 plus parts
you are allowed to put the cooker in as you got to attach the flexible cooker hose to the cooker and then do tightness test make sure the installation is sound
but ask for few qoutes so you have definate price

this advice is not correct if you mean a non RGI, as a new kitchen is being fitted it is classed as a new installation and must be attended to by a RGI, even if the pipework is not disturbed (how does a non RGI confirm this?) and it is a like for like with the units, the minimum clearences must be checked as correct, bayonet is positioned correctly and working etc. a bayonet is for a customer to remove/refit to clean etc, not for a non RGI to disconnect and lay aside a cooker all day while a new kitchen goes in, how do they confirm the bayonet is sealed while the cooker is out, the correct procedure for any contractor doing this work is:
RGI attends in morning does visual etc, does TT removes cooker does another TT (to confirm bayonet is sealed) returns later to refit retest etc and confirm all is ok.I know there are thousands of kitchen installs not done this way, but the OP asked for advice on correct procedure which i have given

ok thanks for the replys

i think i would be tempted to remove it myself and get a rgi to refit or fit new as long as there is a shut off valve

kirkgas what would you charge aprox for the service you mention

Kirkgas wrong information a bayonet fitting is not purely for taking cooker out for cleaning it is perfectly acceptable as per the book yo leave it as a permenant form of disconnection . So leaving a cooker out all day then reconnecting same appliance is perfectly ok. Such as getting new floor down or decorating

This is different from a guy fitting a NEW cooker to existing point as an rgi would then be required
