Gas appliances installed and serviced by a Gas Safe engineer
Gas cookers and fires kill more people every year than boilers do. Correct installation and annual servicing are the difference.
- What it is
- Installation, disconnection, reconnection, servicing and safety inspection of domestic gas appliances, inset and outset gas fires, freestanding cookers, built-in ovens and hobs. Includes bayonet or rigid connections, stability chains, hearth checks and flue integrity.
- Who it's for
- Homeowners, landlords and letting agents in SE London who are fitting a new appliance, disconnecting an old one for kitchen works, servicing an existing fire or cooker, or need a safety check after moving in.
- When you need it
- Whenever a gas appliance is installed, moved or removed. Annually for servicing on every gas appliance. And on any change of tenancy for landlord properties.
- Why a professional matters
- By law, installation and repair of any gas appliance in the UK must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. DIY connection of a cooker on a bayonet fitting is one of the top three causes of domestic CO incidents in the UK.
Why gas appliances need a properly qualified engineer
A gas cooker installed in ten minutes is a gas cooker that will fail in a way you can't afford.
Carbon monoxide from a badly serviced fire
Blocked flueways on gas fires are one of the leading causes of CO poisoning in UK homes. Annual servicing catches it early.
Cooker disconnection leaks
Bayonet fittings that aren't locked correctly leak. Even a small leak in an unventilated kitchen accumulates.
Failed CP12 on rented properties
Landlord CP12s regularly fail on cookers that were 'plugged in' by an unqualified person during a kitchen refit.
Invalid appliance warranty
Manufacturers void appliance warranties where installation and commissioning weren't carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Common mistakes we fix
- Connecting a new cooker yourself on a bayonet fitting
- Skipping annual servicing on a decorative gas fire
- Assuming a downdraft extractor is enough for a gas hob
- Installing a gas hob with insufficient side clearances from combustible units
- Not fitting a stability chain to a freestanding gas cooker

What we cover across the gas-appliance range
Different appliances, different regulations. All under one Gas Safe registration.
Inset and outset gas fires
Installation, servicing and repair of inset live-flame fires, outset radiants, hole-in-the-wall and hearth-mounted appliances. Includes chimney flue check, spillage testing and hearth compliance.
Freestanding gas cookers
Bayonet or rigid connection, stability chain to manufacturer spec, correct clearances to combustible cabinetry, commissioning of every burner and the oven, gas tightness test on completion.
Built-in gas hobs and ovens
Rigid pipework connection, isolator valve at the appliance, correct undercabinet ventilation, commissioning per manufacturer manual.
Servicing
Annual service includes strip, brush and inspection of burners and injectors, flueway clearing (fires), pilot and thermocouple testing, seal replacement where required, combustion analysis on completion.
Disconnection and safe capping
For kitchen refits or appliance removal, safe isolation, cap-off at the T, tightness test on the remaining system, written record for reconnection later.
Decorative fuel-effect fires
DFE fires require additional flue and spillage checks; we hold the specific category and can service or install to manufacturer spec.
Questions we hear every week.
How much does it cost to install a gas cooker?+
£85 for a straightforward bayonet connection with stability chain and commissioning. £120–£180 for rigid pipework or where new gas run is needed.
Can I install my gas cooker myself?+
Legally, no, any gas appliance connection in the UK must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Retailers won't warrant the appliance otherwise.
How often should I service my gas fire?+
Annually, flueways clog with dust and combustion products, and this is a leading cause of CO exposure.
Do you service inset and outset gas fires?+
Yes, full annual service with combustion analysis, seal replacement, flueway clearing and pilot re-set.
Can you disconnect and cap off a gas supply for a kitchen refit?+
Yes, safe isolation, cap at the T, tightness test on the remainder, and full written record for the builder and for later reconnection.
Do you work on decorative fuel-effect fires?+
Yes: DFE fires require specific flue and spillage checks; we hold the category and service to manufacturer spec.
Can you fit a gas hob into a new kitchen island?+
Yes, including new gas run, isolator, correct undercabinet ventilation and commissioning. We'll coordinate with the kitchen fitter to sequence properly.
Do you issue a certificate on cooker installation?+
Yes, a Gas Safe compliant appliance installation record, valid for buyers, landlords and manufacturers alike.
