Colin, not only was/is very good at communicating during the whole process but also very knowledgeable at all things electrical. He also keeps telling to his schedule and has a super ‘customer service’ ethic. For sure, I will use Colin for any future electrical needs that I may have. Can only recommend Colin to whoever may need his assistance. Cheers

Why book gas hob installation through Airtasker?

To get the ease and convenience that comes with the means to cook for yourself, you first need to have the appliance to do it at home.

With the complexity of a hob and the moving parts that come with gas hob installation, it becomes more cost effective to have a professional enlisted with the Gas Safe Register booked for an afternoon than a days-long amateur attempt that may induce hazards down the line.

This way, you can be at ease that a simple fried egg or a kettle won’t put you out of hearth and home! Before you can make the savings from eating out, it’s prudent to invest in your safety and comfort among your household appliances. At Airtasker, you’re a post away from booking a professional installer who can make your induction hob installation happen.

Top Hob Installation related questions

Sorry, you can’t really put a gas hob just anywhere because of manufacturing specifications and safety regulations. There can be required clearances for the space both above and below the hob.

Yes occasionally in case of issues or damage to its connecting lines or tubes. In case of any issues it’s best to contact a professional.

Yes, and depending on the gas hob it may require more or less ventilation.

Typically you would need a compatible connection to link your gas supply to your hob. Connections can be either flexible or rigid, but the manufacturer’s recommendation takes precedence.

Gas hobs can have an electric line if they use an electric ignition system but it’s not really required for the gas hob to turn itself on.

In the UK, the typical cost to install a hob ranges from £75 to £150 for standard installation, depending on several factors:

Cost Breakdown

  • Electric hob installation : ~£75–£120

  • Gas hob installation : ~£90–£150 (more if gas pipes need modifying)

  • Induction hob installation : ~£100–£150 (can be higher due to specific electrical requirements)

Additional Costs

  • Old hob removal : ~£20–£50

  • Upgraded electrical wiring or circuit : ~£100–£200+

  • New gas line (if needed): ~£150–£300

  • Call-out charge (if not part of the installation fee): ~£40–£80

Other Considerations

  • Always use a Gas Safe registered engineer for gas hobs.

  • For electric/induction hobs, use a Part P certified electrician.

  • Quotes can vary by region—London and the South East tend to be more expensive.

What does gas hob installation include?

Hob installation can get extremely particular to adhere to safety standards. And that’s before getting into the differences between a gas hob and an induction hob installation or conversion.

If you book an installation service or any hob related service at Airtasker, your booking may include any of the following:

Safety Evaluation

The professional installer who may have years of insight and certification may point out gas safety issues in your location. They may identify certain unsafe conditions and offer recommendations to make sure that the place will be safe in the future. They may also provide personalised recommendations depending on the local safety regulations (if there are any).

Location Evaluation

The Tasker may also evaluate the gas hob’s location on top of its safety. They may identify suitable and unsuitable areas for the appliance to be installed in compliance with regulations. 

They may also provide specifications for clearances above and below the hob and recommend material thickness for the niche where the hob will be placed. The professional insight will be incredibly helpful to ensure the gas or induction hob will be its safest and most effective upon installation.

Removal and Disposal Compliance

In case your gas hob will be installed to replace another hob in its niche, your booking may include the replacement or removal service. Since both gas and induction hobs have parts that may be recycled or that may be difficult to dispose, they may offer their specialised knowledge to dispose of the hob and its parts according to local regulations.

Installation Proper

In comparison to the preparation and evaluation, the installation proper might seem the simplest part of the service. The Tasker will navigate the connections among the existing appliances to install the new connections like wires and tubes for the hob to work.

This also includes navigating with other existing appliances if there are any, that may complicate the hob’s clearance requirements.

However your appliance and location looks, the Tasker will do their best to make the hob installation safe and sustainable. You may even receive tips and insights on the best type of hob for your place or even the best way to arrange appliances next to each other and forewarn you with future issues.

Old induction hob removed quartz cut to accommodate larger hob

£150

King's Heath, West Midlands

25th Aug 2026

The existing hob is a flush-mounted Miele KM 5775, approx. 915 x 415mm overall. It is damaged - large crack down centre. Amazingly still working but a bit of a hazard, especially with my young son. The replacement I’m looking at is the NEFF N90 T69FUV4L0, which is 918 x 522mm overall. So it’s slightly wider but considerably deeper, and the quartz opening will need enlarging to accommodate it. But I'm not precious about that model particularly. What I’m hoping you can assess is whether the existing quartz can safely be cut/enlarged for this hob, and what would be involved in removing the old flush-mounted hob and fitting the new one. Thanks!

Secure induction hob in existing worktop – reduce movement

£25

Mackworth, Derbyshire

25th Aug 2026

I have a Hisense Hi8 HI6443BSCWF 60cm induction hob which has already been professionally installed and hardwired. The electrical installation is complete and no electrical work is required. The hob is a standard surface-mounted installation (not flush-mounted) and the manufacturer's foam gasket is already correctly fitted underneath. There is currently approximately 5mm front-to-back movement because the existing worktop cut-out appears to be slightly larger than required. I need someone to: • Check/measure the existing worktop aperture against the manufacturer's specified cut-out of 560–562mm × 490–492mm. • Secure the hob so that it cannot move within the aperture. • If necessary, use a suitable heat-resistant packing/filler solution to reduce the effective aperture size and properly locate the hob (not on the outside) • Keep the existing manufacturer-fitted foam gasket intact. The manufacturer requires this gasket around the underside perimeter of the glass. • Leave the hob level, centred and securely seated on the worktop. No worktop cutting is expected and no electrical connection/disconnection is required. Please quote including all materials. Ideally looking for someone experienced with fitting induction/ceramic hobs.

Reseal kitchen sink, hob and worktop joints

£160

Ruislip, Greater London, HA4

24th Aug 2026

Remove all existing sealant around the kitchen sink and hob, clean and prepare the surfaces thoroughly, and reseal neatly with suitable clear kitchen-grade silicone. Also remove and replace the existing dark-grey flexible sealant/jointing material between the sections of wooden worktop. The replacement should be dark grey, ideally matching the current colour. Please identify and use a product suitable for wooden worktop joints—not ordinary silicone unless that is technically appropriate. Please confirm the worktop-joint product and colour with me before applying it. Black may be considered only if suitable dark grey cannot be sourced and must be approved beforehand. The finish needs to be clean, smooth and watertight. Please provide all tools and materials, completely remove the existing sealants, prepare the surfaces properly, and dispose of the waste. Please only offer if you have relevant kitchen/worktop sealing experience. Photos attached.

New Zealand, Derbyshire

19th Aug 2026

I’m looking for a qualified electrician to replace my existing hardwired ceramic hob with a new induction hob. Existing hob: Indesit RI 161 C ceramic hob (6.2 kW) New hob: Hisense Hi8 HI6443BSCWF 60cm induction hob (7.36 kW) The existing Indesit hob is hardwired into a dedicated cooker supply and will need to be safely disconnected and removed. The new Hisense Hi8 also needs to be hardwired, using the existing cooker circuit if it is suitable. Please check that the existing circuit, cable, protective device and isolation arrangement are appropriate for the new 7.36 kW induction hob before connection. The existing worktop cut-out should already be compatible (approximately 560 × 490 mm), so I am not expecting any worktop modification to be required. Scope: 1) Safely isolate and disconnect the existing hardwired Indesit hob 2) Remove the old hob from the worktop 3) Check suitability of the existing cooker circuit for the new 7.36 kW induction hob 4) Install and hardwire the Hisense Hi8 HI6443BSCWF 5) Secure the new hob correctly in the existing worktop aperture 6) Electrically test the installation and confirm safe operation 7) Dispose of the old hob as appropriate for electrical appliance if this is possible or alternatively, load into car for disposal at Raynesway Household Waste Recycling Centre, please let me know if disposal is included in your quote. Please quote for labour and any standard electrical connection materials required. If you anticipate that the existing circuit may require upgrading, please indicate how this would be assessed and any likely additional costs.
