UK Would you consider these accessorries too close to the hob?

[Kahil1987]

Hi, i was given measurements from the tenant and they happemed to be slighty wrong. Now iv already ran cables and the plasterer has already done his job. Looking at the pictures the tenant sent me, the accessorries seem a little close to the hob. What can be done now? Do you think its ok as it is? Is ther e like a fire rated accessory i can purchase or is the only option to move the accessorries? Please see attached pics. Thank you all in advance

What's new? ...well...the worlds sicker,sadder and sillier...but,with a good sense of humour and some grit,it's all possible.

Never had a bigger variety of jobs...not all resulting in golden eggs,but,all gratefully remunerated.

I've just got engineering to deal with,me sisters have the soggy end of the stick...one's a copper,the other in NHS...harder things to repair,people (would insert a smiley,here,but Qanon has given them to Satan,as a gift)

I've had to move existing accessories before this close to a hob, before the gas fitter would install a new hob. Not sure what their rules are.

I was looking into this recently, and most sites seems to agree that for the Gas regulations, it's 150mm to each side of a gas hob (up to 400mm). Though when I tried to track the official source down I couldn't find it - I suspect it's in their BS book, which I'm certainly not buying to confirm.

It's unclear to me whether an all metal switch that was not 'flammable' would comply in that zone - but then most metal switches have some plastic in them anyway.
