I just had a new cooker delivered. Dual Fuel, the electric part is hooked up. I bought a new hose for the gas connection and I have just moved into a three year old house that has a nice new shiny gas pipe. So all thats needed is for the pipe to be screwed on the appliance at one end and the bayonet to be fitted to the pipe in the wall at the other end. Many years ago I did this myself with no issues but there seems to be a lot of health and safety stuff about this online.
Some people say that you cant connect someone else's cooker unless you are registered to do so, but you can do your own, others say its a requirement for house insurance and appliance guarantee to get someone who is registered to do it.
The biggest issue right now is that people want £60 - £90 to do what is essentially a five min, simple job. I think its a rip off. They obviously have the monopoly and they are taking full advantage of that.
I think £30 cash in hand is a fair price?
