I own/live in a first story flat in London. I currently have a gas hob. I am redesigning my kitchen and plan to install an electric hob. I have no other gas appliances in the flat (boiler was changed to electric a few years ago).
I want to cut the gas supply to the flat but not permanently as a new owner may wish to reconnect in the future.
Inside my front door there is a box with a 1" pipe with a tap with a yellow handle, I believe this to be the gas supply. There is also a communial "Meter cupboard" on the landing.
Can I just turn the tap to closed or does the open pipe need to be sealed in some way?
Is this something I can do or does it have to be done by a certified gas fitter?
Thanks in advance,
Alastair
