All ways first class service. I Highly Recommend
reliable and knowledgeable.
They gave great advice regarding my property sale recommending a full gas safety check rather than just a standard boiler check. They were very respectful and polite through out the visit. I would definitely recommend.

Gas Cooker Fitting & Disconnection
Basildon & Surrounding Areas
TM Hughes & Son is a family-run business with 30+ years of experience. Our Gas Safe Registered engineers offer a Gas Cooker Installation & Disconnection service to the residents of Basildon.
Despite the recent technological advances in Electric cookers in recent years, Gas Cookers remain a popular option. Nothing beats the ‘cooked over gas’ taste, and many like the instant heat and accurate heat distribution gas offers.
Gas appliances should be disconnected and installed by qualified Gas engineers who are well versed in plumbing and heating. Improper installation can lead to gas leaks which can be fatal. Using a certified engineer, you know your installations safe and on the right side of the law.
Most cooker warranties, household and landlord insurance policies are only valid if the installations been carried out by a Gas Safe Registered engineer.
Be safe, never attempt to fit a gas cooker by yourself, our prices are very reasonable, and we’ll do the job properly. Hobs and cookers are always fitted safely to the highest standards.

- Gas Cookers

The Installation
We follow strict procedure when installing gas cookers. Give us a call or use our contact form so we can establish your requirements, give you a quote and arrange a time to visit.
An engineer will arrive at the agreed time and analyse your kitchen for safety, taking note of the gas line power points, switches, smoke alarms and combustible materials that may cause issues.
Gas Cookers need clearance to operate safely. The area above the hob is called the hot zone.
The hot zone must be clear of obstructions and combustible materials, such as
- Kitchen Units
- Sockets/Switches
- Shelves
- Cable/Trunking
- Boilers
- Smoke Alarms
A clear area of 750mm above the hob and at least 50mm (ideally more) on each side of the hob, anything placed within this area is a fire risk.
New cookers need to be within 1.5 meters of the gas connection. In the event your gas lines further away, our engineers can usually rectify this on the day.
Once we’re satisfied with the areas safe and suitable for the installation, the gas supply is switched off.
Your old cookers disconnected and pulled out of the space.
The connections checked to ensure it’s suitable for your new cooker. Sometimes it’s necessary to fit a new connection for a tight and safe fitting, something our engineers can do.
Your new cookers connected to the gas supply, the gas supply reinstated.
The connections checked and tested for leaks.
The cookers switched on and tested to ensure everything working properly
