Hi KK


You are NOT allowed to even disconnect the bayonet.

Needs to be a Gas Safe Engineer.


Normally they will do a gas pressure test BEFORE they disconnect to insure there are no existing leaks.

Then after connecting the new appliance they need to repeat the test.


The second test should also be done even if a new appliance is not being connected as the seals in

the bayonet connecter can leak due to poor seating.


Each test lasts about 15-20 mins to insure there are no slow leakage.


I had to go through this procedure in 2012 and it cost approx. ?90.00

That was a disconnect only. No new appliance fitted as flat was being vacated.

KK.. Please ignore the above advise. It doesn't matter whose house it is.

Not good enough to just test the connector

If there is a leak in your new appliance you will not be aware unless it is properly tested.


If your house blows up, you will probably destroy your neighbour's houses as well.

    • Greens have some mad polices and I am still trying to work out if it is true that the leader of the party thought he could hypnotize women to have larger breasts 🤷‍♂️ country is in a real state at the min and all party’s have a part to play in that. what the future holds who knows but it is worrying.
    • A stellar win for the Greens in Gorton and Denton, no doubt. But by-elections are funny beasts. Labour's strength traditionally has been in its ground game. Legions of canvassers over many years in many seats usually means that they are best placed to 'get out the vote' on election day. I can't quite believe that the Greens have enough data, or people, to wrest control of the council from Labour. 
    • Was a regular haunt of mine for many years and had a lot of fun times in there and some marvellous food down the years. Though, admittedly I spent most of my time in there doing some serious boozing. In recent times I've been a less frequent visitor to this fine establishment. I seriously hope it doesn't change too much. It's always had a good vibe in there and that's down to Tim and Rod and all of the staff who have worked there over the past 26 years.
    • Tom came round today and did a very good job advising on picture and mirror placements, and hanging several pieces. Will definitely ask him back to do a few more once we have them framed.
