Why it’s not a DIY job
A gas cooker connects to the supply via a bayonet fitting or rigid pipework, and any disturbance risks a leak. Working on gas pipework and appliances is restricted to Gas Safe registered engineers — DIY isn’t just risky, it can invalidate your insurance.
Disconnecting for a move or new kitchen
A safe disconnection means turning off and capping the supply correctly, removing the appliance, and leaving the pipework safe — not just unplugging a hose. We can disconnect ready for your kitchen fitter or removal.
Reconnecting and testing
Reconnection isn’t just plugging back in: the engineer checks the connection, tests for tightness (no leaks), and confirms the appliance runs safely before signing it off.
Fitting a new cooker
Swapping to a new gas cooker is the same regulated work — the old one disconnected and the new one fitted, tested and checked. We’ll leave it safe and ready to use.
