A gas cooker installation in Laindon is the same £120 job as anywhere in the Basildon area: new hose, bayonet if needed, tightness test, burner check. With 80% of local homes on gas we do plenty of them, and we are only about 10 minutes away. The hard water at 263 ppm is a separate conversation about your boiler.
Connecting a gas cooker, range or built-in hob is work that must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Retailers deliver the appliance but most will not connect it, which is where we come in. We fit freestanding cookers, range cookers and built-in hobs across Essex for a fixed £120.
The engineer disconnects and removes the old appliance, fits a new bayonet connection where one is needed, connects the new cooker with a new hose or the hob with a rigid connection, fits the stability bracket or chain on a freestanding cooker, tests the installation for tightness, checks every burner and carries out a gas safety check on the appliance.
The £120 price includes the bayonet, the cooker hose and the gas safety check. If the gas supply needs extending to a new position, that is priced separately after we have seen the run. We are Gas Safe registered (925538) and family run.

Questions about gas cooker and hob installation in Laindon
How much does it cost to install a gas cooker?
£120, which includes the bayonet fitting, the cooker hose and a gas safety check on the appliance. The same price applies to a built-in hob. Extending or moving the gas supply is extra and quoted once we have seen the run.
How quickly can you fit it?
Call 01268 855605 once you know the delivery date and we will book the connection for the earliest time that suits you. If the cooker has already arrived and you have nothing to cook on, say so and we will fit you in as a priority.
Can I connect a gas cooker myself?
No. It is illegal for anyone who is not Gas Safe registered to connect a gas appliance, and an incorrect connection can leak gas or make the appliance unsafe to use. Retailers and insurers will ask for evidence that the work was done by a registered engineer.
Do you supply the cooker or hob?
We normally fit the appliance you have bought. If you would like us to source one, ask when you call and we will tell you what we can do. Either way, check the appliance is suitable for natural gas before it is delivered.
How far is Laindon from you?
Laindon is 6.9 miles from our base in Bowers Gifford, about 10 minutes by van. Same-day emergency cover and typical arrival in about 10 minutes.
