Swapping to a new gas hob or fitting one for the first time needs a Gas Safe registered engineer, not a DIY job. We disconnect your old hob, fit and test the new one, and issue a compliance certificate the same day, so your kitchen is safe and ready to use.
Gas Hob Installation Expert
Whether you’re upgrading a worn-out hob or fitting a new one during a kitchen renovation, gas hob installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. We fit standard 4-burner hobs, wider 5-burner models and gas-on-glass designs, connecting the supply, testing for leaks and checking the worktop cutout is the right size before anything is switched on.
Gas Hob Installation Guide
A gas hob connects directly to your home’s gas supply, so a poor fit can mean a leak, an unstable flame or incomplete combustion producing carbon monoxide. It’s illegal for anyone who isn’t Gas Safe registered to carry out this work. We check the worktop cutout, fit the correct isolation valve, connect and pressure test the supply, then confirm every burner lights evenly before signing off the job.
COMMON WARNING SIGNS
A few signs your current gas hob may need replacing or checking.
A blue flame means clean combustion, yellow or orange can signal a fault worth checking.
Clicking without ignition, or a burner that keeps going out, often means a worn part.
Any gas smell near the hob means switching off at the isolation valve and calling us.
A cracked ceramic surface or a hob that's come loose from the worktop needs attention.
Hobs needing matches or a lighter to ignite are often years overdue for replacement.
