Like Andy said, no indication it was DIY.
none at all .......
I'm sure we all wish for a speedy recovery for those injured and pray that there is adequate and appropriate insurance cover to repair the material damage.

will they pay out if it turns out to be say, a DIY bodge up? .......
like say, a dodgy hose on a gas cooker? .......

It might not have been fitted by a competent person, whether it was a Gas Safe or DIY Safe person.
What amazes me with these gas house explosions is that most people seem to walk away from them relatively unscathed, and the house is a total wreck.
People are flexible, buildings are 'virtually' rigid
When my son has a party at his house the people walk away unscathed but the house is wrecked ... weird coincidence eh?
think somebody is in trouble ......

that one was...if it had been timber frame there might have been less damage .....

Weird, too, that they hadn't (presumably) smelt the gas - surely there must have been an enormous amount accumulated to cause that much damage?
