A gas cooker installer will ensure that your new appliance is set up and connected safely and efficiently.
By law, gas cooker installation must only ever be undertaken by a registered Gas Safe Registered engineer who is qualified to deal with this potentially lethal gas.
This is to make sure that your appliance is installed in compliance with all safety regulations to minimise the risk of gas leaks and other dangerous issues.

What services does a gas cooker installer offer?
While a gas cooker engineer will be able to install, service, repair, and maintain gas appliances, a gas cooker installer will focus primarily on the supply and installation. Here's what you can expect a gas cooker installer to do:
Connect your cooker to the gas supply safely and securely
Perform comprehensive safety checks and tests to ensure all connections are sound and the appliance operates correctly
Ensure proper ventilation around your gas appliance
Questions to ask a gas cooker fitter
Working with gas can be dangerous, and in some cases, lethal. It's therefore paramount you ask your gas cooker installer some qualifying questions before hiring them for the job.
Are you Gas Safe Registered?
It is a legal requirement that your gas cooker installer is Gas Safe Registered.
All Gas Safe Registered engineers will carry an ID card displaying their unique 7-digit licence number.
This will provide peace of mind that the work will be carried out in compliance with all safety and legal regulations.
If a gas cooker installer cannot provide this, do not allow them to carry out any work at your property.
Can you provide references?
Ask your gas cooker fitter where you can find examples of their previous work and customer reviews.
If using a Checkatrade engineer, you'll find this on their business profile within our directory.
How much do you charge?
To replace an existing oven with a like-for-like model, the average gas oven installation cost is around £150. Typically, this will take about two hours to complete, unless extra work is required.
If you're replacing a built-in unit, the average gas cooker installation cost increases to around £400, reflecting the complexity of the task. This may involve two people being on site. If you are moving your oven to a different position within the kitchen, additional work may be necessary.
Remember to compare quotes like-for-like. Check that they include services such as the disposal of your old appliance and making good any areas that are disrupted in order to complete the work.
We have plenty more information on the cost of gas cooker installation in our oven installation cost guide.

Do you have insurance?
Accidents do happen, and when someone is working in your home or garden, you want to know they have the ability to make things right if they do.
This is why all Checkatrade members must have up-to-date public liability insurance to be listed in our directory.
Do you offer a guarantee or warranty on your installation work?
Once your gas cooker installation is complete, you'll receive a copy of your Gas Safety Certificate (CP12).
It's also reassuring to know that when you book a trade through Checkatrade, their work is guaranteed for up to 12 months. Exclusions and T&Cs apply.
