Gas Hob & Electric Oven Installation London — £230 Fixed

Gas hob and electric oven installation in London — the most popular kitchen combination

A gas hob with a separate electric oven is the most popular kitchen appliance combination in London and across the UK. The gas hob gives you responsive, instant heat control for hob cooking, while the electric oven provides consistent, even temperatures for baking, roasting and grilling. Many London homeowners, property developers and landlords choose this combination for exactly these reasons.

Our £230 fixed price covers professional installation of both appliances in one London visit: the gas hob connected to the gas supply by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and the electric oven connected to a 13-amp socket. Both appliances installed, tested and ready to use — Gas Safe certificate issued free on completion.

Gas hob and electric oven vs dual fuel cooker — what is the difference?

This is a common source of confusion for London homeowners. Here is the clear distinction:

• Dual fuel cooker: A single freestanding appliance combining a gas hob on top and an electric oven below, all in one unit. Connects to the gas supply via a single bayonet fitting and also needs a 13-amp electrical socket. Our freestanding dual fuel cooker installation costs £130
• Separate gas hob + electric oven: Two independent built-in appliances. The gas hob is inset into the worktop cutout. The electric oven is fitted into a separate base unit or tower unit below or next to the hob. Both need their own connections and our combined installation costs £230

The separate built-in combination is more expensive to install because it involves two independent appliances and two separate connection processes, but it is preferred in fitted kitchens where freestanding appliances are not appropriate.

What is included in the £230 gas hob and electric oven installation

The £230 price covers complete professional installation of both your built-in gas hob and your separate electric oven in one London visit:

• Gas hob installation: Hob seated in worktop cutout, connected to gas supply via new BS 669 compliant corrugated stainless steel flexible connector, bayonet fitting inspected, full gas tightness test using manometer equipment, combustion check on all burners, flame failure device (FFD) tested on every burner, hob clipped to worktop from below
• Electric oven installation: Oven fitted in base unit, connected to 13-amp socket, oven functions tested — including main oven, grill and fan (where applicable), oven secured in unit
• Combined ventilation assessment: Room ventilation assessed for gas hob operation per Building Regulations Part J
• Gas Safe installation certificate: Official certificate issued free, covering the gas hob installation
• 12-month workmanship guarantee on all installation work

Does the electric oven need a dedicated circuit in London?

This is an important question for London homeowners. Most standard built-in electric ovens (typically up to 2.5-3kW) can be connected to a standard 13-amp socket — which is included in our £230 price. However, larger electric ovens or those requiring a hardwired dedicated circuit from the consumer unit (fuse box) need an additional electrical installation carried out by a qualified electrician. This is separate from our Gas Safe gas hob installation service.

When you WhatsApp us to book, tell us your oven make and model. We will advise whether your oven can be plugged into a 13-amp socket or whether you need a dedicated circuit installed first. Most standard built-in electric ovens from brands like Bosch, Neff, AEG and Siemens connect via 13-amp socket and are included in our £230 price.

Gas hob and electric oven installation for new kitchens in London

This combined installation is extremely common in new London kitchen fits. Kitchen fitters install the units, worktop and cabinetry — but cannot make gas connections. Our Gas Safe engineers carry out the gas hob connection and electrical oven connection after the kitchen is fitted, in one coordinated visit. We work regularly alongside kitchen fitters across all London boroughs.

For new kitchen gas hob connections, we verify that the gas supply pipework has been correctly routed to within 1.5 metres of the hob position, check the isolation valve is correctly fitted and accessible, and confirm the worktop cutout is the correct size for the hob before connecting.

Gas hob and electric oven installation for landlords in London

Landlords in London who provide a separate gas hob and electric oven in their rental properties need the gas hob installation covered by a valid Gas Safe installation certificate. Our Gas Safe certificate issued with the gas hob installation is valid for your annual Gas Safety Record (CP12). We work with individual landlords, letting agents and property management companies across all London boroughs with same day availability for pre-tenancy installations.

Why gas hob and electric oven is the best cooking combination in London

Professional chefs and home cooks overwhelmingly prefer the gas hob and electric oven combination for the following reasons:

• Gas hob: Instant heat, precise control, visual flame for easy adjustment, suitable for woks and large pots, faster to heat from cold
• Electric oven: More even heat distribution, better for baking, easier to maintain precise temperatures, fan-assisted models particularly efficient
• Combined: The best of both technologies — responsive hob cooking with consistent oven results

This is also why the dual fuel cooker — a freestanding version of the same combination — is the most popular type of gas cooker we install across London.
