How much to get a gas cooker connected ?

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.

I need to have a gas hob connected (and the old one taken out, which was installed 25 years ago with a flexible hose fitting - works fine but not compliant with current regs apparently). Any recommendations for a gas safe engineer?

    • Hi All Following incredible assistance from The Dulwich Society, a visit to the Southwark Archives and lots local insight from this forum, social media and visitors to ed we have created a visual history of ed's home, 41 North Cross Road. We think it looks great, you can see it on our Instagram and Facebook pages: https://www.instagram.com/p/C6UJsC3MDsS/ https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=947290310732033&set=pcb.947290447398686 There is a much less pretty but more detailed version for anyone interested. Many thanks for all your help. Dan  
    • So you are a ‘member’ 😳whatever that means, but also not. It’s not very clear…. But also totally transparent. Miaow 💅😂 Maybe I will, maybe I won’t 😂 What is interesting about your questions is that they suggest, as usual, that you see everything as a really basic binary opposition (cars vs bike, anti LTN vs pro-council etc). It’s not very nuanced Rocks. I don’t have great love for Southwark council as I suspect you assume. That said, neither do I have a lot of time for the apocalyptic hyperbole of those still upset over a fairly minor change to a road junction in the village, made several years ago, and which actually creates a nice public space for pedestrians and a bit more safety for kids travelling to school by bike. Ah, what the hell, let’s play…as you asked so nicely: The one that took place between May and July 2021 I don’t know much about this. It seems it was reopened though? Apparently they have the agreement of the emergency services this time, (which perhaps does suggests they didn’t consult with them properly the first time round). Of course someone (the mysterious Mr One?) believes the emergency services are being intimidated somehow (possibly by commies) so maybe Southwark still haven’t learnt their lesson? No, I don’t. Although I hear the Mysterious Mr One would like it redesigned to make things clearer. 😂 As for your ‘question 3 sub-points’ I don’t actually agree with their premise (a bit of the old ‘how often do you beat your wife’ framing going on there… slippery 😂) Anyway good luck with the referendum.   
    • I often walk past 'Kenro Press' and think it looks very sad and negleted. I wonder when it was last a viable business - tried googling it but nothing much came up Great to hear it is being brought back to life, perhaps a pity it will not be a new usefull retail premises. Lots of work needed so good luck with your renovation
