Gas Hob and Cooker Installations
Whether you are replacing a single faulty appliance or undergoing a complete kitchen renovation, iWarm provide professional, fully certified gas cooker and hob installations. As independent Gas Safe registered engineers, we ensure your new appliance is fitted to exact manufacturer specifications and strict UK safety regulations, cutting out the friction and inflated costs of large retailer installation teams.
Kitchen Transformations & Pipework Alterations
Installing a modern cooker or hob often requires more than a simple swap. If you are redesigning your kitchen layout, we can manage the gas infrastructure at every stage of the build:
- Temporary Capping: Safely disconnecting and capping off your supply pipes so your builders or kitchen fitters can work securely.
- Pipework Alterations: Rerouting existing gas pipes, moving the point of connection to suit your new layout, or upgrading pipe sizing to meet the specific kW demand of high-output, multi-burner hobs.
Strict Gas Safe Compliance & Certification
Gas appliances must legally be installed by a competent, registered engineer. We handle the technical compliance to ensure your appliance operates safely and your home insurance remains valid.
- Safety & Clearance Checks: Verifying adequate room ventilation, checking gas tightness, and ensuring the “hot zones” (clearances around combustible materials like cupboards and extractor fans) meet current building regulations.
- Stability & Testing: Fitting the required stability chains or brackets for freestanding cookers, and testing working gas pressures upon commissioning.
- Official Certification: Once the installation is complete and tested, we register the appliance directly, ensuring you are provided with the official Gas Safe compliance certificate required for your records.
Flexible Appointments
You shouldn’t have to waste an day of annual leave from work just to get a cooker connected. To keep the process as seamless as possible, we offer flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend appointments to suit working households.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a gas cooker myself to save on costs?
No, you should never attempt to connect gas appliances yourself. Gas installations must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer to prevent dangerous leaks and carbon monoxide poisoning. DIY installation will also void your manufacturer's warranty and may invalidate your home insurance.
What happens if my new cooker doesn't fit the existing gas pipe?
This is a common occurrence during kitchen upgrades. Our engineers are fully qualified to perform pipework alterations. We can extend, shorten, or reroute your gas supply pipes to ensure your new cooker is positioned exactly where you want it while remaining compliant with safety regulations.
Will you register my new cooker for its warranty?
Yes. After completing the installation and safety tests, we provide the necessary paperwork to confirm the appliance was installed by a Gas Safe registered professional. We can assist in ensuring the appliance is correctly registered so that your manufacturer’s warranty is fully protected.
How long does a typical gas cooker installation take?
Most standard cooker installations are completed within 1 to 2 hours. However, if significant pipework alterations are required, it may take longer. We always provide a clear timeframe before starting work.
Do you install gas hobs and range cookers as well as freestanding models?
Absolutely. We provide professional installation services for all types of domestic gas cooking appliances, including built-in gas hobs, freestanding cookers, and large range cookers. Regardless of the model, we ensure it is safely connected, leveled, and tested for immediate use.
