Frequently asked questions
How long does a standard gas appliance installation take?
Typically, a standard domestic cooker or hob installation takes between one and two hours. This includes disconnecting any old appliance, checking the gas supply, making the new connection, and performing safety tests. Commercial installations or projects requiring new pipework will take longer.
Do I legally need a professional to install a gas cooker?
Yes, all gas work in the UK must be performed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This is a legal requirement for both residential and commercial properties to ensure the installation is safe and complies with building regulations. Installing it yourself can invalidate insurance and cause serious safety risks.
What are the costs associated with gas appliance installation?
The cost depends on the type of appliance and the existing pipework. A straightforward cooker swap is more affordable than a commercial gas appliance installation that requires new gas lines or ventilation. We provide clear, fixed quotes once we understand the scope of your specific project.
What documentation will I receive after the installation?
Upon completion, we provide a Gas Safety Certificate or a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate. For landlords, this is often integrated into the Landlord Gas Certificates service to ensure all appliances in the property are documented as safe and legally compliant.
Can you install gas appliances in commercial kitchens?
Absolutely. We provide Commercial Gas Services for restaurants, hotels, and schools. Our engineers are qualified to work on high-output commercial catering equipment, ensuring that all gas connections and extraction systems meet the rigorous standards required for commercial environments.
