Why a cooker is not a DIY job
Connecting a gas cooker looks simple, and that is exactly why it goes wrong. The hose has to be the right type and length for the appliance, routed so it cannot foul the hotplate, and the bayonet has to be sound. The room needs adequate ventilation for the heat input. And the whole installation needs tightness testing afterwards. It is also illegal for anyone not on the Gas Safe Register to do it, in your own home as much as a rented one.
Gas fires
Gas fires get neglected because they are seasonal, and then they get lit in October having sat for eight months. The common problems are blocked or degraded flues, failed oxygen depletion sensors and debris in the burner, and the failure mode with a flue problem is carbon monoxide, which is why these are worth checking properly rather than hopefully.
We service decorative and radiant gas fires, check the flue with a smoke test and the combustion with an analyser, and tell you honestly if an old appliance has reached the end of its life.
Moving into a new place
If you have just bought or rented somewhere with gas appliances you know nothing about, a one-off safety check on the cooker, hob and fire is cheap peace of mind. We also fit carbon monoxide alarms, which are now a legal requirement in rented homes with any fuel-burning appliance and a sensible idea in every home that has one.

Common questions
Can you connect a cooker I have bought myself?
Yes. We supply and fit the correct hose and bayonet, check the ventilation, test for tightness and leave it working. Let us know the make and model when you call.
How much does it cost to fit a gas hob?
Tell us the appliance and whether there is already a gas point in the right place, and we will price it over the phone. If new pipework is needed we will say so before starting rather than after.
Do gas fires need servicing every year?
Yes, particularly older ones. The flue and the safety devices are what keep carbon monoxide out of the room, and neither is something you can check by looking.
Can you cap off a gas supply?
Yes. If you are going electric or removing an appliance we will disconnect and cap it safely and leave it certified.
Do I need a carbon monoxide alarm?
In rented homes it is a legal requirement where there is any fuel-burning appliance. In your own home it is not required for gas appliances alone in every case, but it costs very little and we would fit one in any room with a gas fire or boiler.
