I'm not sure a marine gas engineer would appreciate being connected to your oven.

Really helpful when you need advice that you get sarcastic comments!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers 

[rusty69]

In that case, I suggest you check the gassaferegister website, select LPG and what kind of installation you want.

........is one way of looking at things.

 

alternatively any post, sarcastic or otherwise, brings your thread to the top of "view new content"so it is more likely to be seen by others.

I don’t think I have come across a specific ‘Marine Gas Engineer’. I would have thought that anyone who is Gas Safe registered would be able to do what is required.

A common error. 

 

Gas Safe registration is multi-level and the vast majority of Gas Safe registered gas engineers are not sufficiently qualified to work on either LPG or on boats. Finding someone qualified for both can be quite a trial.

I think Steve at SJM marine is and is definitely local

Have you asked Redhill Marina if they can do the work, and if not who they would recommend?

It snot sarcasm, its an attempt at humour!  Its a bit dull otherwise, sitting at the keyboard, waiting for an interesting question to pop up.

The question is, would the OP have got the answers they are receiving without my poor attempt at humour?

You're having a laugh, obviously.  (please keep bumping.)

And even then Gas Safe registered is far from a guarantee of competence. My neighbour had a young gas safe registered bod round to do the landlord checks. He denied the central heating boiler was behind the gas fire and refused to even check when he was told that is where it was. He was ordered out of the house.

They would probably say Chris Williams, as he is on site.

Thanks

You don't really need a gas engineer to connect an oven, you just need someone who's competent enough to connect it and then test it for leaks. It's not difficult.

You do for your BSC and compliance.

 

How do you regulate "competent"

This is all getting rather circular. You could regulate it by having formalised exams to pass and a Register of people and all their individual qualifications.

 

Oh, hang on...

And even better, you could then charge the registered people hundreds of pounds each to be on your list ...

Not by a piece of paper, that has been shown many times
