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 :eek:......is he extracting the urine , or is that really the price of plugging a cooker in ? :eek:
 
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
 
Fitted mine myself you can buy the fitting in b&q and solder it on easy job just dont forget to turn the gas off first:lol
 
tbh rick mate , id rather pay you , but it would cost about 6 times that just for your fuel up to the bungalow :eek:......will ring around a bit tomorrow .
 
Seems about right to me I'm sorry to say :eek:
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 :doh
