DANGER OF THE WEEK AWARD

Bad Gas Fitters

---

…but half an oven is ridiculous!

When called to replace an oven and hob with a range cooker the last thing we expected to see was a hob mounted in a section of a work surface, un-fastened to the rest of the work surfaces nor to the wall and all of that was perched atop an old free standing cooker which had the top surface removed. The gas valves and mechanisms were still fully functional as well!

When we removed the old hob, work surface and cooker to remove we discovered that the underneath of the work surface, which had been sitting directly on top of the gas cooker for years was scorched and burned. The heat could not escape through the back vent as it was designed to do. This could have caused a fire or melted the flexible gas hose as the heat could not escape away from the appliance as designed.

Please don’t play with gas appliances at home! I can guarantee that these hook ups were not made by anybody with qualifications.
