Gas hob installation

If you’ve selected our installation service for your new appliance, we’ll also unpack your new hob when we get there and disconnect your old one too.

We need to do some gas tests before and after the installation. So, if you’re on a meter, make sure it’s topped up. Don’t worry about cables. We’ll bring everything we need to get your new hob installed.

Then it’s the exciting part. We’ll get to work installing your new gas hob in its home! We’ll take pictures during installation, just so we’ve got a record of the service.

Picked our Remove & Recycle service? We’ll take away your old hob when we leave. We are unable to disconnect or recycle Aga appliances.

The image above is an example of a generic Hot Zone. Your existing Hot Zone (the space around your hob) will need to be free from switches, cooker hoods and flammable items, including cupboards and wallpaper. There’ll need to be a gap of at least 75cm between your hob and the cooker hood or ceiling above. We will not be able to install if it isn’t clear of hazards.

As with any gas appliance, you need to make sure that the room your new hob is going to be living in has direct ventilation to an outside space. We’ll need to connect you up to an existing gas supply, so double check you’ve got access to one. If you’re on a meter, we'll need to use it, so make sure we've got access to it and you’re topped up enough so we can test properly. There’ll also need to be a 3 pin socket or cooker point (that big red switch) within 1.5 metres of your hob’s new home.

You’ll also find the dimensions of your chosen hob within the Product Detail section on our product pages. Double check that the height, width and depth are suitable for the space in your kitchen.
