Our Hob Installation Process

At GSC UK, we follow a thorough process to ensure your hob is installed safely and correctly. From initial assessment to final checks, we take every step to meet the highest safety and compliance standards. Here’s what you can expect when you book a hob installation with us.

Pre-Installation Assessment

Before installation, our qualified engineers carry out a detailed assessment of your kitchen space. This step ensures that your new hob will fit properly and comply with all safety regulations. We inspect the existing gas, electrical, or induction connections to confirm compatibility. We check for proper ventilation, especially for gas hobs, to prevent any safety risks. If any modifications are needed, such as adjusting the worktop cut-out or upgrading gas or electrical connections, we discuss them with you beforehand. This assessment allows us to prepare for a smooth installation, ensuring there are no surprises on the day.

Secure Installation

Once the pre-installation checks are complete, our engineers begin fitting your hob with precision and care. Gas Hobs: Our Gas Safe registered engineers securely connect the hob to the gas supply, ensuring there are no leaks and that all fittings are properly sealed. Electric Hobs: We wire the hob correctly, making sure the power supply matches the manufacturer’s requirements. Induction Hobs: These require a high-power electrical connection, and we ensure that the supply is suitable before safely wiring the unit. We also secure the hob in place, making sure it sits flush with your worktop for both functionality and aesthetics. Throughout the process, we follow all UK safety regulations to guarantee a safe installation.

Final Safety Checks and Testing

Once the hob is installed, we conduct a full range of tests to ensure it operates safely and efficiently. Gas Hobs: We perform a gas tightness test to check for leaks and verify that the flame burns correctly. Electric and Induction Hobs: We test the electrical connections, ensuring all elements heat up as expected. We check that ignition systems, controls, and safety features function correctly. For gas hobs, we ensure proper ventilation and carbon monoxide safety.

What to Expect from a Professional Installation?

When you book a hob installation with GSC UK, we ensure a smooth and efficient process from start to finish. Our team handles everything with care, following strict safety and compliance standards. Here’s what you can expect on installation day.

Space and Power Requirements

Before our engineers arrive, it’s important to make sure your kitchen is ready for installation. Here’s what you need to check:

  • Sufficient Space: The hob cut-out in your worktop should be the correct size for your new appliance. If adjustments are needed, we can advise on necessary modifications.
  • Power Supply:
    • Gas Hobs: A working gas supply must be available, with a nearby power socket if the hob has an electric ignition.
    • Electric & Induction Hobs: These require a suitable electrical connection, typically a dedicated cooker circuit. If changes are required, we will inform you in advance.
  • Clear Access: Make sure the installation area is clear of any obstructions so our engineers can work efficiently.

Installation Timeframe

The time needed for installation depends on the type of hob and any additional work required. On average, you can expect:

  • Gas Hob Installation: Around 1 to 2 hours, including gas safety checks.
  • Electric/Induction Hob Installation: Typically 1 to 2 hours, depending on wiring requirements.

If any adjustments are required, such as worktop modifications or power upgrades, installation may take slightly longer. Our engineers always aim to complete the job efficiently while ensuring all safety checks are thoroughly carried out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Type of Hob Can You Install?

We fit gas, electric, and induction hobs at GSC UK. Gas hobs require a Gas Safe registered engineer for a safe and secure installation. Electric hobs need to be wired to the mains correctly, and induction hobs require a high-power connection for optimal heating. However, regardless of the type, we fit your hob safely and within UK regulations.

Can You Replace an Old Hob?

Yes, we can take away your existing hob and fit a new one. We disconnect the old gas or electric connections safely, ensure the new hob will fit, and adjust as required. We then test everything to make sure it is working correctly. Sometimes, switching from electric to gas (or vice versa) involves some extra work, and we make sure to do it precisely.

How Much Does Hob Installation Cost?

Pricing varies with hob type and whether additional work is involved. Basic gas hob installation is £75–£120, and electric and induction hobs are £80–£150. If some alterations are required, such as cutting the worktop or re-wiring, additional fees will be charged. We give transparent pricing up front, so you can rest assured.
