Upfront cost — no obligation Connecting a gas hob is gas work — and by law it must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. A badly fitted hob risks gas leaks and carbon monoxide, so it is not a job for a general handyman or kitchen fitter. Gas First installs built-in and freestanding gas hobs across East London and Essex, connecting your appliance with the correct fittings, running a tightness test, and confirming it is burning safely before we leave. We work from local bases in Bow and Dagenham, so we are genuinely close by.
Does a gas hob have to be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer?
Yes. It is against the law for anyone who is not Gas Safe registered to connect a gas hob. Beyond the legal requirement, a correct installation protects your household — the gas connection must be sound, the hob correctly seated with the right clearances, and the whole thing pressure-tested. Our engineers (Gas Safe 587401) do all of this and confirm the hob is safe before handover.

What is involved in fitting a built-in gas hob?
For a built-in hob we check the worktop cut-out and clearances, disconnect and remove the old hob if needed, connect the new hob using the correct gas fittings and hose, secure it into the worktop, and carry out a tightness test to confirm there are no leaks. We then check every burner ignites and burns correctly before talking you through your new hob. If the gas point needs moving or new pipework is required, we will explain that and the cost before starting.

Built-in hob or freestanding cooker — what's the difference?
A built-in hob sits into the worktop and often pairs with a separate built-under oven, so installation can involve coordinating with cabinetry and existing connections. A freestanding cooker is a single unit that slots into a gap. Whichever you have, the gas safety checks and certification are the same — we handle both, and can disconnect and remove your old appliance as part of the job.

“First time boiler repair success.”
R Ahmed | Stratford, East London
“Highly recommend for any boiler issues. We used them for our annual service and to fix several other issues. The engineer was incredibly thorough, he even took the time to overhaul the system. It's rare to find an engineer who is this transparent and knowledgeable. Fair pricing and excellent communication throughout. Will definitely use them again next year and any time we need them.”
