Gas Installation - qualified fitter in Solent (Hamble) area?

[Babylon]

My insurers require the gas hoses to be replaced, and other installation work to be updated.

Any recommendations for a qualified fitter in the Solent (Hamble) area?

Thanks in advance.

Did some work for me, and nothing has blown-up yet.

Second thumbs up for gas check - did ours last year. Now have list of bits of paper showing the boat won't blow up which should please the insurance co.

"Why not DIY"

....because you are doing all the difficult/nasty jobs, but seem to want to pay someone to do the gas hoses (just because it's GAS??).

+1 for GasCheckMarine. Took a little while to get the work done (He fell ill for a few weeks when he was due to carry out the work!) but work was done neatly and to the quote. As with others, have a bit of paper saying the system is a-ok.
