There are regulations covering the installation and removal of domestic gas cooking appliances. This doesn't mean members can't post a request or offer for a gas cooker, but a moderator may want to add a note to the post.

Suggested wording:

"A Gas Safe registered engineer is required to be used when installing or removing gas appliances in the home. There's some useful information here - https://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/gas-safety/gas-appliances/gas-cooker-and-hob-appliance-guide/"
