Mother in Law has bought a cooker for her kitchen.
It is gas operated and the installers refused to install it as the wall behind was varnished wood and was regarded as a fire risk.
If a formica type sheet was screwed to the wood, would this be OK?

Try tiles instead: best fireproofing there is, almost.
How about fire-retardant varnish or paint?
Not usually, plasterboard would do or as someone has already suggested
- tiles.
There seem to be some people who have a kind of weird metal behind their cookers with a honeycombed structure at the wall side, fraid I don't know what its called though.

Just a mere storage heater has already cracked formica so I think this tends to warp with heat and crack.

Get a pink plasterboard (fire rated) and cut it to fit - it doesn't matter if it's in pieces, then tile directly onto this
the approved stuff is masterboard - the modern replacement for asbestos board. You cant paint that or tile it.

And fired from every job he's ever had.
