Gap Between My Cooker & Worktop

It is a gas regulation that there should be a gap of 20mm from the work top either side of a free standing cooker because of heat transfer.

There is a mandatory gap of 20mm required on each side of a free standing cooker but there appears to be no restriction on bridging the gap at the top whilst still leaving the gap below. This was the reason I mentioned the silicone covers on a previous post.

As the silicone covers are specifically designed to bridge the gap I would have thought that these would be illegal to sell if they assisted in contravening installation requirements.

I agree Charles, sound points.

I got my through the mail yesterday just not had chance to try them yet.

The Silicone Gap Covers work great, had them on a few weeks and problem solved. Thanks all!!!

Thanks for the feedback!
