Hello. I have just had a gas certificate done, prior to re-letting my flat. The person who issued the certificate said that the gas hob is illegal because the electronic ignition does not work. Both I (when I lived there) and the tenant who has just left used matches to light the hob. I am surprised because this was not commented on by man (not the same chap) issuing certificate in prior years. Is there a requirement to have a working ignition? I understand ,of course, that any newly fitted hob must be FSD compliant, but can find nothing on internet regarding legislation on ignitions. Many thanks.
