Can I install a gas hob in an apartment with no mains gas supply
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.54 PM
We are looking into buying an apartment in Woking. The majority are electric only. Would we be able in install a gas hob fed from a butane cylinder in the kitchen? Of course we will get a gas safe engineer to do it but just want to know if it's actually possible?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

No, You can’t store propane cylinders in the house, and the building owner will not like you installing gas appliance without consent.

The previous engineer didn't answer the question. He is correct what he said, that you cannot store a propane cylinder inside a property.
Butane is used in portable gas heaters, I have seen cookers supplied with Butane in households but as gas engineer I wouldn't install one.
