Not for your safety thats for sure, only a CORGI can do a gas
appliance safety check and to do it properly on a place with boiler
and gas cooker would take the best part of a morning. Ed?

Well realistically given a reasonable standrd of installation (that does
not beg to be inspected deeper) I would say something like 1-2 hours,
including doing all the paperwork and testing the meter+ pipework.

Depends on the age and complexity of the appliances
