Gas Cooker Installation in Hedge End

Plumbright Southern offers gas cooker installation in Hedge End by Gas Safe registered engineers. We connect your new cooker safely, fit a stability bracket where needed and test for gas leaks before you use it.

Why It Must Be a Gas Safe Engineer

Connecting a gas cooker is gas work, so by law it must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer. A poor connection can leak gas or cause the cooker to burn badly. Even if you are only swapping an old cooker for a new one, the connection still needs to be tested properly.

More Information

What the Installation Involves

We turn off the gas, disconnect the old cooker and check the gas supply point. The new cooker goes on with a suitable flexible hose, and freestanding cookers get a stability chain or bracket so they cannot tip. Then we test for leaks, check the burners and show you how everything works.

Before Your Cooker Arrives

Check the new cooker fits the gap and that there is a gas point nearby. If you are moving the cooker to a new spot or changing from electric to gas, new gas pipework may be needed. Let us know when you book so we can plan for it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I fit a gas cooker myself in Hedge End?

No. It is against the law for anyone who is not Gas Safe registered to connect a gas cooker, even for a straight swap. A faulty connection can lead to gas leaks or carbon monoxide. Book a Gas Safe engineer to connect it and test it before you start cooking.

How long does gas cooker installation take in Hedge End?

Swapping a gas cooker on an existing gas point usually takes around an hour. If new gas pipework is needed, for example when moving the cooker or switching from electric, it takes longer. We will tell you how long to expect when you book your Hedge End installation.

Do I need a stability bracket for my gas cooker in Hedge End?

Yes, for freestanding cookers. A stability bracket or chain stops the cooker tipping forward if someone leans on an open oven door. Most cooker makers include one and require it to be fitted. We fit it as part of every freestanding gas cooker installation we carry out.
