We normally charge £50 including hose for the gas oven. Or £40 if the hose is already there.

He is talking about a gas hob not a cooker, you cannot use a flexible hose for a hob it has to be rigid copper pipe.

I'm £65 plus materials,plus vat in cambs, London I'd expect around £120 plus vat inc materials tops,

Note though if installing in a flat make sure the hob has thermocouple safety shut offs or it will be illegal

I'm £80 + materials plus VAT.

As you have a flat, make sure the hob is fitted with FSD's.

Thats for a gas hob tho isn't it?, presume electric socket for ignition and gas. Most new electric hobs need a dedicated feed....fine if it's there.

Its got both. A double socket for plugs and an oven and hob switched set to a new fuse box with the correct fuses. The latter were for my ceramic hob, but I dropped a bit mortar on the edge and so it cracked. So that' s got to go out. Being made redundant too skint to buy an induction. As to profit re someone's profiteering landlord point, profit -what's that. Even renting it out, I'll need a job to cover the rest.

Do you have to register newly installed hobs with anyone for building regs?

gas4you

No. You only have to register flued appliances.

Ah thanks. The variation is black and white. And that query was derived from advice a gas fitter from a Southwark Council recommended tradesman list told me. There's no chance for the layman is there to get a job done efficiently and effectively. Lord give me strength.
