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 fewer 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 it uses an electric igniter 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.
