The rules for non-dwellings are vastly different, as far as the gas engineers have told me then if you're on commercial premises and people don't live there- you have a lot more leeway and can use as many push-on hoses as you like, the rules are only really stringent because i want my studio setting up inside my house.
In the mean time, when the house renovation is finished (as if that will be anytime soon!), I shall look into renting a garage or something somewhere and running there off propane.
Other people in the UK do run their torches on natural gas, and setup within their homes- they just obviously found brave plumbers!
