How much ?
we got given a gas cooker for the bungalow , so need a gas fitter to " plug it in " to the gas ......... the cooker has a pipe thingie at the back , and there is a gas pipe with a blanking plate on the wall .........
so rung up a gas fitter ........ £105 plus vat plus parts to connect it  ......is he extracting the urine , or is that really the price of plugging a cooker in ?

not saying its right, but yeah the costs is probably right. You really need to shop around mate, I would be expecting no more than £40 for connecting an oven to the gas.

if the bungalow had a plug in bayonet connector and the hose on the cooker was the same, then you do it yourself, like changing a bulb, but if the gas is capped off then it needs a new fitting (bayonet socket) about £15 but long time since I bought one, then because the gas system has been opened a gas test has to be performed, which means charging the gas line to normal pressure then monitoring it for a period of time to test for pressure drop, I would be looking for £60 to £70 for this assuming no problems found, Rick

Seems about right to me I'm sorry to say
The nanny state dictates that any gas installer is registered with many quangos and it cost him annually. Then as Rick says, the system will need testing AND registering . he is liable for that install. It's criminal law etc. 'Tis why I can sell an induction hob "fitted" cheaper than a gas hob install

In fact in places like Plumb centre you have to show your Gas Safe installer ID (or similar) to buy gas fittings. |
