Getting a new gas cooker connected properly matters, both for safety and for how well it performs. We disconnect your old appliance, fit and test the new one, and issue a Building Regulations compliance certificate, all in a single visit from a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Gas Cooker Installation Expert
Whether you’re replacing an old cooker or fitting one for the first time, gas cooker installation isn’t a DIY job. It’s illegal for anyone who isn’t Gas Safe registered to connect a gas appliance, and a poorly fitted cooker can leak gas or burn unevenly. We fit freestanding cookers, range cookers and built-in ovens with a gas hob, disconnecting the old appliance safely and testing the new connection before we leave.
Gas Cooker Installation Guide
Connecting a gas cooker involves more than plugging it in. The gas supply needs the right fitting, a stability bracket or anti-tilt chain if required, and a leak test once it’s connected. Get it wrong and you risk a gas leak or carbon monoxide build-up from incomplete combustion. Every installation we carry out is signed off by a Gas Safe registered engineer, with a compliance certificate provided for your records.
COMMON WARNING SIGNS
A few signs your current gas cooker may be due for replacement.
A yellow or orange flame instead of blue can mean incomplete combustion and poor safety.
Clicking with no ignition, or burners that won't stay lit, often points to a worn valve.
Any smell of gas means switching off and calling us straight away, it's never normal.
Freestanding cookers without a stability bracket or anti-tilt chain are a tipping hazard.
Hot spots or slow boiling can mean a burner or oven jet needs cleaning or adjusting.
