Spent a few weeks chasing my tail with a few of the ‘bigger’ gas companies who all failed to help with a piping issue. Finally found TM Hughes who were helpful, straight forward, and sorted the issue with minimum fuss. Highly professional, responsive, and reliable. Excellent service!

Welcome to TM Hughes & Son Gas Services Ltd. We provide gas cooker installation in Chelmsford and across Essex, carried out by Gas Safe Registered engineers.

Whether you’re replacing a cooker in Chelmsford or need a safe installation elsewhere in Essex, our engineers are here to help.

Gas Cooker Installation Across Essex

In addition to Chelmsford, we provide gas cooker installation and disconnection across Essex.

Our Gas Safe engineers regularly install cookers for homeowners and landlords throughout the county. Ensuring every gas cooker is fitted safely, tested correctly, and certified in line with current regulations.

All Gas cooker fittings include a gas installation certificate.

Why Choose a Gas Cooker?

Gas cookers are popular among Essex homeowners for their affordability, instant heat, and precise temperature control.

Unlike electric appliances, gas cookers work during power cuts and provide even heat distribution. Gas Cookers are considered cleaner and more environmentally friendly than Electric cookers.

The Importance of Gas Safety

Gas safety is essential for both homeowners and landlords. By law, all gas appliances must be installed or disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Once installed, we provide a Gas Safety certificate.

The Gas Cookers We Install

Our fully certified Gas Engineers install and disconnect a wide range of gas cookers, including:

Freestanding Gas Cookers
LPG Cookers
Gas Range Cookers
Built-In Gas Ovens
Dual Fuel Cookers
Gas Hobs
Built-In Gas Hobs

Why Use a Professional Gas Safe Engineer?

Professional installation ensures:

Full compliance with the latest gas-safe standards
Safe connections
The correct positioning for ventilation and clearance
Peace of mind with a Gas Safety certificate

Safe, Professional Gas Cooker Installation

Before installation, we’ll thoroughly assess your kitchen to ensure it’s safe for your new gas cooker.

This includes checking for adequate clearance and ensuring the area is free from power points, switches, smoke alarms, and combustible materials.

We’ll safely disconnect and remove your old cooker, allowing the new one to be installed.

Once the new cooker is in place, our engineer will test all gas pipe fittings to ensure they’re completely secure and leak-free.

We’ll then confirm that your cooker is operating correctly per the manufacturer’s guidelines. After installation, you’ll be issued the appropriate Gas Safety record for peace of mind.

Installation Requirements

Before installation, the area around the cooker is carefully checked to ensure there’s enough clearance.

Gas cookers need sufficient clearance, and the cooker switch must be nearby—within reach but away from direct heat.

The ‘hot zone’ around hobs must be free from combustible materials such as kitchen units, wallpaper, electrical sockets, and shelving.

The minimum clearances required are:

750mm above the hob
50mm on each side

If these clearances are not met, we cannot undertake the installation. Please also ensure your new cooker fits the intended space and is within 1.5 metres of a suitable gas connection.

If needed, our engineers can install a new gas point.

Our Installation Process

We turn off the gas supply.
Your old cooker is safely disconnected and removed.
Existing connections are checked to ensure they’re safe and compliant.
New connections can be fitted during the visit or scheduled for another time.
Your new cooker is unpacked, positioned, and connected to the gas supply.
The gas supply is switched back on.
All connections are tested for safety and leaks.
The cooker is switched on and tested as per the manufacturer’s guidelines.
A Gas Appliance Installation Certificate is issued.

Need a Cooker Disconnected?

We offer a safe and professional gas cooker disconnection service if you’re replacing a cooker, remodelling your kitchen, or removing an old appliance. We’ll securely cap off the gas supply and issue any required safety paperwork.

Gas Cooker Installation for Landlords

Landlords have a legal and moral duty to ensure gas appliances in their rental properties are installed safely and checked regularly. We work with landlords and letting agents across Essex, providing Gas Cooker installations, testing and certificates.
