Gas line for gas cooker

mumboojumboo

Hi the house iam looking has a electric cooker. But it has gas for heating.

How easy/expensive is it to install a gas line for gas cooker?

Depends how far the gas has to run. If the gas supply is in the kitchen near where you want the cooker should be pretty easy.

But you'll need a GasSafe certified engineer to do the work.

£178:23... A better answer is available from any GasSafe engineer...after he has seen the place... and found out if you care about where the pipe runs (eg along the sitting-room wall @ 5ft up or buried under the floor so 'tis invisible..)

Sigh!!

Cheers!

If you need an estimate for the length of a piece of string please let me know.

My friendly gas man (a GasSafe certified engineer) would probably do that for £200 or so.

What you need to ascertain is what you’re sticking on the end of the pipe. Worktop gas hobs need rigid pipework. A freestanding cooker needs the flexible hose. You’ll end up having the gas man visit twice if you’re not careful.

I can’t stress enough how important it is that you use a GasSafe certified engineer. There are still idiots around who’ll do it for £50 cash and leave you with leaks.
