Our Comprehensive Installation Process
We follow a strict multi-point safety checklist for every gas hob installation to guarantee your peace of mind:
- Pre-Installation Tightness Test: Testing your property’s gas carcass for existing leaks before we begin.
- Airtight Worktop Sealing: Applying high-temperature seals to prevent liquid spills from reaching the cabinetry below.
- Stability & Clearance Check: Verifying the “Hot Zone” (the space above the hob) meets safety regulations regarding cupboards and extractor fans.
- Flame Supervision Device (FSD) Test: Confirming that the safety valve correctly shuts off the gas if a flame is accidentally extinguished.
- Burner Pressure & Aeration: Adjusting the flame to ensure a clean, blue burn for maximum efficiency and safety.

Common Questions
Does a gas hob need an electrical connection? Yes, most modern gas hobs require a standard 13-amp plug or a hardwired connection to power the automatic spark ignition. We can check your existing sockets during the quote.
What is the “Hot Zone”? This is the safety clearance area above your hob. There must be no combustible materials (like wallpaper or wooden cabinets) within a specific range—usually 750mm for extractors and 460mm for side cabinets.
