Gas to Electric Cooker Conversion London — £200 Fixed

Gas to electric cooker conversion in London — £200 fixed, one visit, everything included

Switching from a gas cooker to an electric cooker in London involves three separate jobs — gas disconnection, new cooker circuit installation and electric cooker connection. Most London homeowners do not realise this and end up booking multiple different engineers on different days. We handle all three in a single visit for £200 fixed — no callbacks, no coordination, no surprises.

Our team covers both Gas Safe gas disconnection and Part P certified electrical installation — making us one of the few services in London that can legally complete every step of a gas to electric conversion in one appointment.

Why does gas to electric conversion require 3 separate jobs?

This is the most common question we get from London homeowners considering switching. Here is why three jobs are involved:

• Job 1 — Gas Safe disconnection: Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, disconnecting a gas appliance must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This is a legal requirement — not optional.
• Job 2 — New 32-amp cooker circuit: The vast majority of London properties that have only ever had a gas cooker will not have a dedicated electric cooker circuit. A new 32-amp circuit must be run from the fuse board to the cooker location before any electric cooker can be safely connected. This must be done by a Part P certified electrician.
• Job 3 — Electric cooker installation: Once the circuit is in place, the new electric cooker is connected, levelled, tested and an electrical safety certificate issued.

We do all three — £200 total, one visit, price confirmed at booking.

Do most London properties need a new cooker circuit?

Yes — in almost all cases where a gas cooker is being replaced by an electric cooker for the first time. London properties built before 2000 — which includes the vast majority of Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis, 1930s semis and most purpose-built flat blocks — were built without a dedicated electric cooker circuit. The kitchen is wired for gas only. A new 32-amp dedicated circuit must be installed from the consumer unit (fuse board) to the cooker location. This is included in the £200 conversion price.

What happens to the gas pipe when switching from gas to electric in London?

When our Gas Safe engineer disconnects your gas cooker, the gas supply to the cooker location is safely capped off. The gas pipe or bayonet fitting at the wall is sealed so no gas can escape. The capped pipe does not need to be removed — it can remain in place behind the new electric cooker. Your gas supply to your boiler, any gas hob (if separate), and all other gas appliances in your property remains completely unaffected.

Gas to induction cooker conversion in London

We also carry out gas to induction cooker conversions in London at the same £200 fixed price. Induction cookers require exactly the same dedicated 32-amp or 45-amp circuit as a conventional electric cooker. The process is identical — gas disconnection, new circuit, induction cooker installation and free electrical safety certificate — all in one visit. Induction cookers are becoming increasingly popular in London kitchens due to their faster heating, lower energy consumption and improved safety compared to both gas and conventional electric.

Gas to electric conversion for London landlords

London landlords switching rental properties from gas to electric cookers need to ensure the entire process — gas disconnection, new circuit and electric installation — is carried out by qualified engineers and documented correctly. Our team provides a Gas Safe disconnection record and a Part P electrical installation certificate on every conversion. Both documents are required for landlord compliance records. We work with individual landlords, letting agents and property management companies across all London boroughs with same day availability for urgent property turnarounds.
