A Part of the gas one being fitted is that they check, perhaps just visually ‐ other gas equipment in your property.
A mate of mine had a gas one and the chap that fitted it "checked" the gas cooker and condemned it on the basis that it did not have an anti tip bracket fitted to the bottom of the cooker. It had the required chain fitted to the top perfectly correctly. They then had to pay for their regular gas engineer to come out to check and undo the condem.
These people fitting them are idiots.
Quite likely. When we moved into our present abode, we had a new electricity meter installed. The chap that fitted it was an old work mate, he was previously a fitters mate at the old iron and steel works. Turns out he re-trained soley to go around fitting meters. When he turned up at our door, I thought it was social visit. Then he told me he had come to fit the meter, I had flashbacks to him swinging a 14lb hammer knocking 2" whitworth bolts in :lol
