good to know i wasnt being ott, cheers for all your help people :)

You can't ever be OTT mate. Cover your backside. I'd rather get something wrong and turn it off and have someone moaning at me about getting it wrong rather than leaving it on and having a dead body to get rid of :)

you mean shovel in the woods time?? ;)
 
Putting a pan on top of any hob will do more harm than that flame picture. There's no lift and plenty of O2 to keep that safe. It does look a bit oversized but if you get a hint of CO from that I'd be very surprised.

TBH you sound like its your hob LOL,theres a issue there,its patently obvious by the piccie,if your happy its right then carry on your signing the cert
 
Yes, perfectly true and if I thought for a minute something was posing a risk to someone's safety then I would, but that said you have to have a bit of sympathy for the occupiers, having no hob etc because the flame just looks a bit dodgy even though all the facts prove otherwise, blue flame, correct pressure, no lift etc.

If you thought that flame picture is genuinely dangerous then it needs an ID being flueless.

My opinion of course.

I personally agree with you but I'd still cut and cap it. It's a poor flame and other circumstances ie ventilation or gas pressure could change the second you walk out the door. Then your the last bloke there and it's on your head.
Pour hob in the kitchen has a poor flame picture sometimes when the boiler is on, I know I should upgrade the gas pipe but I know the circumstances in which to use or not use the hob. Whereas a customer wouldn't. I wouldn't leave my hob on if it where in someone else's home.
I hate isolating appliances in people homes, mainly due to the paperwork involved rather than the aggro, but sometime it has to be done.
