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. |
