A gas cooker service is more than swapping a broken part. The technician works through the cooker piece by piece, from the cylinder valve to the oven door, because the fault you see is sometimes caused by another part. These are the checks we do on most visits, whether it is a freestanding cooker or a built-in hob.
The ten checks
-
1
Leak testOn the joints, hose and regulator, with soapy water or a detector, never a flame.
-
2
Regulator and hoseSteady pressure from the regulator, and a sound, well-fixed hose.
-
3
Safety valves (thermocouples)The part that cuts the gas if the flame goes out. It must work on every burner and in the oven.
-
4
Burner portsCleaning the small holes the gas comes through, so the flame is strong and even.
-
5
Flame settingA steady blue flame, with no yellow tips and no roaring.
-
6
Spark plugs and ignition moduleA strong spark on every burner from the first press.
-
7
Oven ignitionThe oven lights and stays lit.
-
8
ThermostatThe oven reaches the set temperature and holds it.
-
9
Door seal and hingesThe door closes tight and no heat escapes at the edges.
-
10
Full test at the endEvery burner and the oven running together long enough before the technician leaves.

How often does a cooker need a service?
In homes that cook every day, a check once a year is usually enough, plus one before Ramadan or big occasions. Any sudden change in the flame colour or a smell of gas means calling straight away, not waiting for the service.
Questions people ask
Is the service done at home?
Yes. The technician comes to your home, and most repairs are finished in one visit.
Do you repair built-in hobs?
Yes. We repair freestanding and built-in gas cookers and hobs.
If the cooker needs a part, when do I know the price?
The technician tells you the part and its price before starting, and the price is final, with no hidden fees.
