Gas Pipe Alteration FAQs

Common questions about gas pipe alterations

Can I alter gas pipework myself?

No. It is illegal for anyone who is not Gas Safe registered to alter, extend or modify gas pipework. Doing so is dangerous, could cause a gas leak or explosion and may invalidate your home insurance.

Can you move a gas pipe during a kitchen renovation?

Yes. We regularly alter gas pipework as part of kitchen renovations. We can move gas supply points to match your new kitchen layout. We recommend booking us once your kitchen design is finalised.

Can you cap off a gas pipe that is no longer needed?

Yes. We can isolate and cap off unused gas pipework safely. The pipe must be capped at the source, not just at the appliance end, to eliminate the risk of a leak in the unused section.

How long does a gas pipe alteration take?

A simple gas pipe alteration such as moving a cooker connection point a short distance may take 1 to 2 hours. More complex alterations with longer pipe runs or multiple changes will take longer.

Do I need a certificate after gas pipework is altered?

Yes. We provide a gas pipework alteration certificate that documents what was done, confirms the pipework was pressure tested and states that the work complies with gas safety regulations.
