Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

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 behind your cooker or hob is safe.

Question 3

Can you install a gas hob during a kitchen renovation in Cob Wall?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly work alongside kitchen fitters across Cob Wall and can install a gas hob connection as part of a wider renovation, timed to fit around the rest of the work so the gas side is done safely at the right stage.

Question 4

Do landlords in Cob Wall need a new safety check every time a gas cooker is installed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every installation is followed by a safety and tightness test, and for a rented property in Cob Wall this feeds into the annual Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), keeping the tenancy compliant going forward.

Question 5

Do you offer emergency call-outs?

Accepted Answer

We operate Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, and do not offer emergency call-outs or weekend work. We do prioritise urgent boiler breakdowns and aim to attend as quickly as possible during our working hours. For a true gas emergency (smell of gas or suspected leak), contact the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately.

Question 6

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. We use the appropriate connection method for your specific appliance and kitchen layout.

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. Tell us the make and model and we will confirm the right connection method.

Question 8

How much can I save by upgrading to a new boiler?

Accepted Answer

Upgrading from an old, inefficient boiler to a modern A-rated condensing boiler can save you hundreds of pounds a year on your energy bills, depending on your current boiler's age and efficiency. We will give you an honest estimate of the likely savings for your specific property during a free survey, rather than a generic figure.

Question 9

Do I need to be present while you fit the cooker or hob?

Accepted Answer

It helps if you, or someone who can make decisions about the appliance, is available at the start and end of the visit. We will talk you through what has been done and confirm the tightness test result before we leave.

Question 10

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

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can reroute the 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 so the relocated point is confirmed safe before you use it.
