Question 1

Can I fit my own gas cooker or hob?

Accepted Answer

No, by law any gas appliance including cookers and hobs must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This is both a legal requirement and a genuine safety matter, since an incorrectly connected gas appliance can be dangerous.

Question 2

Do you disconnect old gas cookers as well as fit new ones?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can safely disconnect and cap off an old gas cooker or hob as part of the same visit when fitting a replacement, or on its own if you are switching to electric.

Question 3

How long does it take to install a gas cooker or hob?

Accepted Answer

A straightforward like-for-like installation typically takes around 30-60 minutes, including the safety tightness test. If new pipework is needed, this can take longer, which we will confirm before starting.

Question 4

What is a gas tightness test and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

A tightness test checks the entire gas connection for any leaks after the appliance is fitted, using a pressure gauge. It is a mandatory safety check we carry out on every installation, giving you confidence the connection is safe.

Question 5

Can you install a gas hob during a kitchen renovation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we regularly work alongside kitchen fitters and can install a gas hob connection as part of a wider renovation, timed to fit around the rest of the work.

Question 6

What should I do if I smell gas near my cooker?

Accepted Answer

Turn off the gas supply at the meter if safe to do so, ventilate the room by opening windows and doors, avoid naked flames or electrical switches, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 if you suspect a leak. Contact us afterwards during working hours for any repair.

Question 7

Do you fit both freestanding cookers and built-in hobs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we install freestanding gas cookers, built-in gas hobs, and range cookers, connecting them safely and testing thoroughly regardless of the appliance type.

Question 8

Is a flexible gas hose safe for connecting a cooker?

Accepted Answer

A certified flexible connector, correctly rated and fitted by a Gas Safe registered engineer, is a standard and safe way to connect many cookers, and we will use the appropriate connection method for your specific appliance and kitchen layout.

Question 9

Do you provide any documentation after installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we confirm the installation has passed its safety and tightness test, and if the appliance is in a rental property this forms part of the annual Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) going forward.

Question 10

Can you move a gas cooker point to a new position in my kitchen?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can reroute gas supply pipework to reposition a cooker point as part of a kitchen redesign, always finishing with a full tightness test on the new connection.
