Gas cooker with flexible pipe in Scotland

[Silvan]

Hi,

Can a gas cooker (i.e. a free-standing unit with burners on top and an oven underneath) be connected with a flexible pipe? I ask this as I am thinking of buying a new cooker and want to be able to move it around a little bit (just a few inches each way) if I fit new units and worktops around it. I'm in Scotland if it makes a difference and will be using a proper registered gas fitter.
Am I correct in thinking that a flexible pipe cannot be used to connect a gas hob?

Yes you can use a flexi on the free standing cooker.
Can't see the point on a hob?

The point of flexible hose for the hob would be that if I were to attempt to change the units under the worktop holding the hob I could probably get away with it (i.e. without changing the worktop).

Just realised it must be pretty much standard to use a flexible fitting with a cooker, so that the cooker can be slid back into a space between units?

Can a bayonet fitting be used to connect the cooker, so that I can move the cooker away completely then re-connect it myself?

With respect to the hob. It depends if the manufacturer permits. The instructions will detail wether a rigid, flexi or both are suitable
