Can anyone advise me here, I am living in rented property and with my landlords permission I am having a new (secondhand) kitchen fitted. My landlord has an annual gas safety certificate done which covers the Boiler, Gas Fire and Meter. I am having a gas hob fitted with a new supply, the plumber is CORGI registered. I told the landlord and he said I would have to have all the house re-certified to include the hob. My fitter says its only the hob and meter that needs testing and the hob registering with CORGI not the whole house.

Which one is correct?

While you say CORGI, I assume that you do realise that CORGI was replaced by the Gas Safe Register, last year?
All work should be done by a GasSafe registered engineer, now.

Who will own the new hob? You or the landlord?

When my Housing Association landlords do the check, the gas cooker is examined, at the same time, too.

I bought the hob but wouldn't dream of taking it with me, I'm very fortunate to have a really great landlord. So I would say he owns it. Yes I just used the name corgi because thats what I'm used to, he's up to date its me thats 'lagging'.

you do not need another landlords cert until the existing one expires. the gas safe registered engineer should issue you with a cert for the hob and register the instal with gas safe registerl. this means all your appliances have valid certs. just keep your hob cert together with your landlords cert until its inspection time again.

hope this helps.

Excellent Thank you Mr Peacock yes it has helped :).
I did think that was the case but didn't want to argue unarmed. What you say is exactly what the plumber told me.

Mr Peacock (2 posts above) came to my house today to do a landlord safety certificate and to remove an old gas fire. He turned up when he said he would was very helpful and chatty. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to others.

Thankyou for your kind feedback. I will add you to our landlords database and send you a reminder just before next years inspection is due.

Have a happy christmas & prosperous new year.
