Default any gas fitters in swindon?

just reconnected the gas supply to the hob last night, and thought it might be a good idea to get a leak test done on it just in case...

i cant smell any gas or hear any hissing lol, oh and the pilot on the boiler has been lit all night and the house didnt blow up....

just for peace of mind really lol

You are allowed to disconnect/connect a QUICK connect.
MILTON FLUID is what we used to use on the mobile homes, veru very safe joints they are, just try to borrow a MANOMETRE if still worried, and do leak test at shut off valve, a gas person should bot charge much to do this.

Surely cooking dinner on fairy liquid is a hazard in itself!
Bubble burps ahoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
