I’ve only advised it can be done

Yes it can be done. But it needs to be done in a safe and correct manner. If you do not have the GSR badge then you shouldn’t be commenting mate.

Edit due to terrible spelling

It’s not me looking for help lol As stated i gave it on registration, is there an administration error don’t worry I’ll forward it

 

[Andrew Kinghorn]

Well there we go then! I’ve got my answer.

All I wanted to know is if it could be done. Thanks to everyone for their replies.

I am actually Sunderland based, but Kinghorn is a lovely place in fife and my family are from Scotland.

Anyone know any top notch gas engineers in Sunderland?

I do not think the system works like that mate. It has to be given in directly.

Are they from Edinburgh by any chance? Also, when I say it can be done, it can. But I wouldn’t advise for it to be done like @Dake205 has stated. That isolation valve needs to be accessible and not blocked in.

 

[Dake205]

Seems daft as I’ve commented all night what seems to be the correct answer imagine if I gave it wrong

 

[Dake205]

Harvest fields he’s stated Sunderland lol the oven is removable and that’s a soldered valve wonder what’s the connection to hob lol don’t make me do it

 

[Dake205]

Not Edinburgh mate but Scotland

 

[Dake205]

And if you could please clarify what I advised to be done

 

[Harvest Fields]

Make you do what mate?

 

[Harvest Fields]

And if you could please clarify what I advised to be done

That the gas isolation can be moved behind the oven. Which it shouldn’t be. It needs to be accessible.

 

[Dake205]

Yes well move it bellow the kick plate lol it doesn’t need to be there, please explain how you could service/access the underside of a hob without removing oven as clearly the top can’t be removed on its own

Not really a productive answer mate. What you are saying is just not how it is supposed to be and this forums prides itself on good solid advice.

 

[Dake205]

So please clarify what are you saying, an oven has maximum 4 screws and is removable, this installation is Rubbish, I’ve gave you an opinion that doesn’t meet your criteria but I’ve also explained that a hob can’t be properly opened/repaired without access below and asked you is that correct, and if that is so how bad are you now going to look in this open forum providing advice

 

[Harvest Fields]

I’m just going to leave this here. It is from a standard set of manufacturers instructions for a standard gas Hob. Take from it what you will. Thread now closed.
