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.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
