Gas cooker or hob relocation means moving the gas supply point to a new position and reconnecting your appliance there. It involves new pipework from the existing supply, a new isolation valve and connection, capping the old point, a tightness test and a safety certificate. It is different from a like-for-like swap, where the gas point stays where it is (see gas hob replacement and gas cooker installation).
By law this work must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, with pipework to BS 6891. Unregistered work risks gas leaks, carbon monoxide and invalid home insurance.
How much does it cost to move a gas cooker or hob in London?
£300 labour plus materials. Labour is fixed. Materials depend on how far the gas point moves, so we confirm that figure in writing before any work starts.

- Isolate, disconnect and move the appliance

Indicative materials guide (final figure confirmed after we see photos):
| Move | Typical new pipe | Materials |
|---|---|---|
| Short move, same wall or adjacent | Up to about 2m | From £30 to £80 |
| Across the kitchen, several bends | About 2m to 5m | From £80 to £150 |
| Long run or pipe upsizing from the meter | Over 5m | Quoted from photos |
When do London homeowners relocate a gas cooker or hob?
| Scenario | What changes |
|---|---|
| Cooker to another wall | New pipe run and connection point; old point capped |
| Hob to an island or peninsula | Pipe routed through the floor void or a protected route; floor type assessed first |
| Kitchen refit or extension | Gas first-fix before units go in, final connection after |
| Hob and oven separated | Gas point moved to the hob position |
| Flat or terrace layout change | Short run from the existing supply; lease or landlord consent checked |
Moving the hob also affects your extractor. See cooker hood installation so both are planned together.
Gas cooker relocation step by step
- Send photos. WhatsApp the current and new position.
- Confirm the price. £300 labour, materials quoted at cost.
- Isolate and disconnect. Supply isolated, appliance disconnected.
- Run new pipework. New pipe, isolation valve and connection point at the new position.
- Cap the old point. Sealed and tested.
- Test and certify. Tightness test, combustion and flame failure checks, then your free Gas Safe certificate.
A short move usually takes 2 to 4 hours.
Technical rules we follow on every relocation
- Pipe sizing. A longer run can lose pressure in 15mm pipe, so we check the gas rate and upsize to 22mm where needed.
- Pipe route. Routed where it can be protected and inspected, in line with BS 6891, not buried unprotected.
- Isolation valve. Fitted where you can reach it.
- Flexible connector. A BS 669 compliant connector within the manufacturer's length limit.
- Ventilation and clearances. Checked against Building Regulations Part J, including distance to the hood and worktops.
- Stability chain and flame failure device. Fitted and tested on every burner.
- Gas tightness test. Manometer test on the new and the capped pipework.
Landlords and leaseholders: our certificate is valid for CP12 records. In a flat, check your lease or ask the freeholder before pipework is changed. See gas safety certificates.
