Gas Works

Does cooker positioned next to door break any gas safe laws?

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.02 PM

Hi, I have just had a new range cooker. The problem I have is I rent my property and I am not sure if I am breaking any gas safe laws by its new position. The only place where it will fit is at the end of my kitchen, the thing I am worried about is it is right next to the door that joins my living room to my kitchen so when you walk into my kitchen the cooker is right next to the door, is this breaking any gas safe laws?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

The only criteria that applies to any cooker is that it is installed in a room that is fit for purpose, installed away from any combustible material, such as curtains etc. And the room needs to be at least 10 cubic meters in volume.
