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

Do you offer emergency call-outs for cooker installation in Greave?

Accepted Answer

No, we do not offer emergency call-outs or weekend work. We operate Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm. If you ever smell gas, treat it as an emergency and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately, then contact us for any repair.

Question 3

Are your prices fixed or do you charge by the hour?

Accepted Answer

Wherever possible we provide a fixed, written quote before work begins, covering installations, servicing and most plumbing jobs, so there are no surprises on the day. This is confirmed after a free survey or an honest phone conversation about the job.

Question 4

Will you check my existing gas cooker connection even if I am not replacing the appliance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you are unsure whether an existing connection was fitted correctly, we can inspect it and carry out a tightness test as part of a visit, giving you a clear answer rather than leaving it in doubt.

Question 5

Can you install a gas hob during a kitchen renovation in Greave?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly work alongside kitchen fitters across Greave 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 6

Do you install dual fuel cookers with a gas hob and electric oven?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We connect the gas side of a dual fuel cooker, whether freestanding or a range cooker, to current safety standards and carry out the same full tightness test as any other gas cooker installation.

Question 7

What happens if you find a gas leak during the tightness test?

Accepted Answer

We will not leave the appliance connected until the leak is fixed. The tightness test is designed to catch exactly this before you ever use the cooker, and we address any fault found before signing the job off as safe.

Question 8

Do landlords in Greave 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 Greave this feeds into the annual Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), keeping the tenancy compliant going forward.

Question 9

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, and avoid naked flames or electrical switches. Call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 if you suspect a leak, then contact us afterwards during working hours for any repair.

Question 10

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.
