Can i still cap meters, or take them off?
I may be wrong mate but I thought you didn’t as long as it’s out and in the same place, I know the homeowner is defo allowed to do it which is crazy imoYou do need ckr1 to remove and refit don't You? Because your employed to do so you need to hold the relevant qualification.
You could be rite there mate thinking about it, I think it’s technical bulletin 0.25?You do need ckr1 to remove and refit don't You? Because your employed to do so you need to hold the relevant qualification.

If it’s out and back in same place it’s not deemed gas work so an in registered person can do it but if your doing it while at work you must be competent.. it’s a pretty stupid reg imo
Didn’t mean to reply twice , started my reply then got distracted and started a new reply thinking I’d lost my original oneYou do need ckr1 to remove and refit don't You? Because your employed to do so you need to hold the relevant qualification.
It’s madness mateAgree it's stupid. We had this discussion a few weeks back. And yes it is tb 025. It's not specific to cookers either. It says temporarily disconnecting a self sealing fitting. So if a hob is attached to a bayonet, they technically a customer can remove and refit that too.
Non of them carry LDF
It is a bit bonkers, yet exists. When I remove a cooker (eg for another trade to lay a floor) I have to make sure that there is no accidental release of gas. When I asked gas safe in this they stated that a self sealing connection is not acceptable as a child can “play” with the fitting. Contractor removes cooker, just as a minimum has to ldf fitting and can leave as is.
I would have thought you only need CkR1 to “work” on the appliance - install, service, repair etc, but removing from a self sealing fitting is not regarded as work and normal check and relight should suffice. If it’s going back in the same place as long as there is no safety issue, eg scorch marks. I was even told by gas safe that there is no need to check to safety shut off (lid) as you’re not working on the appliance.
The work on meters is covered in L56 of the GSIUR as being regarded as gas work, if it was classed as meter work then I suppose you couldn’t cap a supply off, add a meter bracket or re-pipe from the meter outlet either.
