I just has a Corgi round to do a landlord's gas safety certificate. He
issued it, but pointed out two minor areas of concern which he says wants
sorting - the gas hob needs an isolation valve (which can be in the void
behind the built-in oven); and secondly, in said void there is an elbow in
the gas pipework with compression fittings, which he wants replaced with a
soldered elbow.

I didn't really think about it till after he'd gone; but (a) what's the
point of having an isolation valve in an inaccessible location and (b) if
there's a problem using compression fittings with gas... don't isolation
valves usually have these anyway?

He also pointed out that if I didn't want to fail my electrical inspection,
I would need to fit earth bonding across the 5 copper pipes entering and
leaving the boiler (which is neither in the bathroom or kitchen). That
one's news to me... is he correct, anyone?!
