Hi, Just found this website and am finding it very

useful, so I am just reposting a query that I have posted on another forum in the hope that someone can advise

here.

We are in the process of gutting out and refitting our kitchen, doing what work we can ourselves, and we

are going to replace our old freestanding gas cooker with a built in Hotpoint

Gas Hob and single electric oven. I

have finally convinced my partner that we should be getting professional help with fitting the new cooker but I need some

advice on what the

procedure should be.

Do we need to get an electrician in first to fit the fused spur ready

for the oven (we don’t have a dedicated oven circuit but I understand that a single fan oven should be OK on a

standard circuit?) – or can the corgi fitter do the gas and electrics all together at the same time as fitting the

cooker.

At what stage of the kitchen refit should this be done – I guess that an integrated cooker cannot be fitted

until the units are in place? Also will the gas hob need a dedicated fused

spur of its own too? We are currently at

the stage of removing plaster and trunking the cables for our existing powerpoints before replastering, so I’d hate for us

to proceed too

far and find that the power for the cooker needs sorting at an earlier stage.

Thanks in advance

for any help!

You

do indeed require the services of both an approved gas

fitter and a Part P approved electrician to undertake both

installations.

A double socket would suffice for both appliances – single oven operation and ignition operation for the

hob. You can, if you wish, install seperate fused spurs to operate both

appliances but as you will not require to

isolate the appliances frequently I would suggest the first option of a double socket installed at the back of an adjacent

base unit provided

the back is of a suitable construction i.e solid board not hardboard.

Installation of your

appliances takes place after your cabinets and worktops have been installed.
