disconnecting reconnecting gas cookers

[tamz]

They obviously like a fry up in that house.
Soap and water costs very little. There is no excuse except laziness.

aye they sure do Tam , a few pies as well by the size of em

come accross old dearies who ve worked all their days and kept their cooker spotless for 40-50 years , and i mean spotless , still looks like its brand new and they ve been using it nearly every day and still baking cakes and bread , and yet go into a benefit scroungers place who ve had a brand new cooker of the social less than a year and its caked in grease , the oven doors hanging off , injectors are clogged , bits of the hotplate burners are missing.
i digress but i do love the style of some of the 60s gas appliances, canon gas miser fires will be all the rage oneday i m telling you's , don t be throwing any those in the skip lol

If it only showed on the tightness test and not LDF I would assume its a very small leak and would never reach LEL and its not a case of "He" said it would be alright" Its Gas Safe and the HSE that says its alright.

That said I too recommend that an engineer reconnects as he will also check safety devices and do a tightness check at the meter.

My point was that the housholder or removal man doesnt do any check never mind a tightness test and although its HSE that say its okay the customer will still blame the gas engineer that tells them its okay to carry on. In my case it was a minor leak but whos to say what leak if no checks are done,?

I am on your side mate and I dont think the public sees any difference if they are allowed to disconnect and reconnect to clean behind why not disconnect at your old house and reconnect at your new one?
There are rules in place for everything we do and all we can do is advice best practice to the customer.
