Overview

## What This Service Is, and Who It Is For

### What it is
This covers connecting and commissioning gas cookers, freestanding range cookers and built-in gas hobs, including running a new gas supply point where there is not one, fitting bayonet connections and isolation valves, disconnecting and removing the old appliance, and carrying out tightness testing and safety checks before certifying the work.

### Who it is for
Anyone who has bought a new gas cooker or hob, households replacing electric with gas or converting a kitchen layout, landlords fitting appliances into rental properties, and people who have had a kitchen fitted and now need the gas appliance connected legally.

### When you need it
As soon as the appliance is delivered: a new cooker sitting unconnected in a kitchen is a very common situation. Also when a kitchen is being refitted and the gas point needs relocating, or when an existing cooker connection is old, stiff or the hose is perished.

### Why it needs a registered engineer
Connecting a gas appliance is notifiable gas work and legally restricted to Gas Safe registered engineers. The risks are specific: an incorrectly made connection or a perished hose leaks gas, an appliance in the wrong position relative to combustible surfaces is a fire risk, and a hob installed without correct commissioning can burn incorrectly and produce carbon monoxide in the room you spend most time in.

The cost of leaving it

## What Happens If This Gets Left
Kitchen gas work is where DIY and unregistered fitting happen most often, and where the failure mode is immediate.

### Risks and escalating costs

- A poorly made connection or a perished flexible hose leaks gas into an enclosed kitchen: the highest-consequence failure in the house.
- A gas hob or cooker burning incorrectly produces carbon monoxide in the room where people cook, eat and often sit.
- Appliances installed too close to combustible surfaces or without required clearances are a genuine fire risk.
- Unregistered gas work is a criminal offence and it invalidates home insurance, including for claims unconnected to the appliance.
- In a rented property, an uncertified appliance connection shows up at the next gas safety inspection and can be classified as at risk or dangerous.

### Mistakes we are called out to fix

- Letting a kitchen fitter or delivery driver connect the appliance because they are already there.
- Reusing an old flexible hose that is beyond its service life or the wrong type for the appliance.
- Fitting a cooker without a nearby accessible isolation point, so there is no way to isolate it in an emergency.
- Ignoring the manufacturer's clearance requirements to worktops, walls and overhead units.
- Not having the installation tightness tested, so a small leak goes unnoticed.

Our process

## How We Carry Out the Work, Step by Step

- 1
### Step 1: Site and appliance check
We check the appliance's requirements, the intended position, clearances to combustible surfaces and units, ventilation, and whether an existing gas point is suitable or a new one is needed.

- 2
### Step 2: Fixed price confirmed
You get a clear price covering connection, any new pipework or gas point, the isolation valve and bayonet fitting, removal of the old appliance and the testing, before we start.

- 3
### Step 3: Installation
Old appliance disconnected and removed, gas supply extended or a new point installed with an accessible isolation valve, appliance connected with the correct hose or rigid connection and secured or stability-chained as required.

- 4
### Step 4: Tightness test and commissioning
A tightness test on the installation, working pressure verified, then every burner and the oven lit and checked for correct flame picture and safe operation.

- 5
### Step 5: Safety check and handover
Safety devices verified, combustion checked where applicable, the installation confirmed compliant, and the appliance handed over working, with packaging and the old cooker taken away.

What you get

## The Difference It Makes

### Legal, certified connection
Gas Safe registered installation, so the work is lawful, insurable and will stand up at the next gas safety inspection.

### Tightness tested before we leave
The installation is pressure tested and every burner checked, not just plugged in and switched on.

### New gas points where needed
We extend the supply and fit an accessible isolation valve, so the appliance can be isolated safely in future.

### Old appliance removed
Disconnected, capped off safely if you are not replacing it, and taken away with the packaging.

### Correct clearances and stability
Manufacturer clearances respected and freestanding appliances secured, which is a fire and stability requirement, not a nicety.

### One visit, kitchen back in use
Most cooker and hob installations are completed in a single visit so you are cooking the same day.

In detail

## Cooker, Hob and Gas Point Detail
Freestanding cookers and range cookers are normally connected with an approved flexible connection to a bayonet fitting, positioned so the hose runs without strain or kinking and the appliance can be pulled out for cleaning without stressing the connection. Flexible connections have a defined service life and specification, including whether they are suitable for appliances with a high-level grill or an eye-level oven, and reusing an old hose because it looks intact is one of the most common defects we find. Freestanding cookers also require a stability chain or bracket where the manufacturer specifies it.

Built-in gas hobs are a different job. They are connected with rigid pipework to a concealed but accessible isolation point, and they need correct sealing to the worktop, correct clearances to adjacent walls and overhead units, and enough space beneath for the appliance and any oven below it. Cutting worktop apertures to the manufacturer's template matters: an undersized aperture forces the hob and stresses the seal, and an oversized one leaves the appliance unsupported.

New gas points are frequently the real work in a kitchen job. Extending the supply from the existing pipework means sizing the pipe for the appliance's input and the length of the run, routing it where it is protected and where it can be inspected, and terminating it at an accessible isolation valve rather than buried behind a fixed unit. Where the run passes through floors or walls, sleeving and protection requirements apply. Getting the isolation point accessible is what makes future servicing and emergency isolation possible.

Ventilation and combustion complete the picture. Kitchens with gas appliances need adequate ventilation, and later changes: new windows, a sealed air brick, a powerful extractor: can change how the appliance draws. At commissioning we light every burner and the oven, check the flame picture, and confirm the appliance is burning cleanly. A yellow, lifting or noisy flame is a symptom, not a cosmetic detail, and it gets investigated rather than noted.

### Residential and commercial properties
We install domestic gas cookers and hobs in houses, flats, HMOs and rental properties across Merseyside. Commercial catering appliances fall under a separate scope and are not part of this service: tell us the appliance and property type when you ring and we will confirm straight away.

Questions

## Gas &amp; Hob Installation: Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to install a gas cooker or hob?A straightforward connection to an existing suitable gas point is a fixed, modest price. Where a new gas point or pipework run is needed, the price depends on the length and route, and we confirm it in writing before starting.

How long does the installation take?A connection to an existing point is usually an hour or two including testing. Running a new gas supply point takes longer, typically a half day depending on the route.

Can I connect a gas cooker myself?No. Connecting a gas appliance is notifiable work restricted by law to Gas Safe registered engineers. Doing it yourself is a criminal offence, invalidates your home insurance, and carries a real risk of gas escape and carbon monoxide.

Do I need a new gas point for my new cooker?Only if there is no existing suitable point, or if the appliance is moving position. We check the existing supply, its sizing and the isolation arrangement, and tell you before quoting.

Will you take my old cooker away?Yes. We disconnect it safely, remove it, and cap off the supply properly if you are not replacing it. Packaging goes with us too.

Do I get a certificate for the work?We carry out and record the tightness test and safety checks. If you also want a Gas Safety Certificate covering all the gas appliances in the property, we can do that in the same visit: say so when you book.

How long do cooker hoses last?Approved flexible connections have a stated service life and should be replaced within it, not reused indefinitely. We fit a new, correctly specified hose as part of the installation rather than reusing the old one.

Do you fit cookers and hobs in rental properties?Yes, regularly, with tenant-friendly appointment slots and documentation sent to the landlord or agent. We cover Liverpool, Knowsley, Halton and St Helens. We answer the phone seven days a week, 8:30am to 5:30pm, and we tell you the same day whether we can get to you.
