Building regulations, electrics and gas in Bangor, Gwynedd

In Wales, gas hobs, cookers and pipework are for Gas Safe registered engineers only. Part P is wider than in England: a new cooker circuit is notifiable, and so is extending an existing circuit within a kitchen, for example to add a cooker outlet. That means most hob and oven electrics are certified through a competent person scheme or building control, and all of it must meet BS 7671.

Homes inside Eryri National Park, listed cottages and conservation areas may need consent for a new external vent or changes affecting historic features.

Worth knowing before the fit

Ask the Gas Safe engineer for a record of the work and keep it with your home documents, especially if you let a property in Gwynedd.
If you are replacing an old cooker with a separate hob and oven in your Bangor, Gwynedd kitchen, ask for the gas supply position and condition to be checked first.
If you are moving the hob in your Bangor, Gwynedd kitchen, choose the cooker hood at the same time so the extraction and ducting can follow it.
If the new hob sits away from the existing gas supply, allow for a new pipe run by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Questions about hob and oven installation in Bangor, Gwynedd

How much does hob and oven installation cost in Bangor, Gwynedd?

Which parts of Bangor, Gwynedd do you work in?

All of them. Our Gwynedd coverage takes in the whole of Bangor, Gwynedd, including the LL57 postcode district, as well as surrounding towns such as Caernarfon. If you are unsure, send us your postcode.

Who is allowed to connect a gas hob?

By law, anyone who carries out gas work for payment must be on the Gas Safe Register, in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and anyone working on gas must be competent to do it. We only use Gas Safe registered engineers, and we strongly advise against fitting a gas hob yourself. The engineer connects the hob, tests the installation for tightness, checks the burners and the room's ventilation, and leaves the appliance safe to use. You can ask to see the engineer's Gas Safe ID card before work starts.

Does an induction hob need a new circuit?

Often, yes. Many induction hobs draw more current than an ordinary socket circuit can supply, so they are wired to a dedicated cooker circuit from the consumer unit. If you already have a cooker circuit of the right rating, the hob can usually connect to it. A new circuit is notifiable in England and Wales, and everywhere it must be tested and certified to BS 7671.

Why does a range cooker need a stability bracket?

Because a range cooker can tip forward if weight is put on an open oven door, which could damage the gas connection or injure someone. Gas and dual-fuel models are secured with a stability bracket or chain to the wall or floor behind, as the manufacturer specifies, and the cooker is levelled on a firm floor so its doors close properly and pans sit flat.
