Common gas hob problems we repair
My Plumber's experienced engineers specialise in diagnosing and repairing a variety of issues specific to gas hobs. Gas hobs can develop issues over time, from ignition faults to uneven flames. The certified engineers we work with will quickly diagnose and fix all common gas hob problems to restore safe, efficient operation in your London home. Here are some common gas hob problems we can fix:
Gas Hob Won't Ignite
If the hob fails to ignite, this could be due to a faulty igniter or blocked burner. The engineers will inspect the ignition system and ensure gas flow is restored.
Burner Won't Heat Properly
A burner that doesn't heat properly may indicate an issue with the gas flow, burner components, or connections. We'll examine and resolve these problems to ensure consistent heat.
Gas Smell from the Hob
A gas smell can indicate a leak or loose connection, requiring immediate attention. Our Gas Safe engineers will inspect all connections and fix any leaks to ensure safety.
Control Knobs Not Working
Faulty knobs can make it hard to adjust the heat. We can repair or replace any broken controls, ensuring you can safely and accurately operate your hob.
Flame Not Staying Lit
If the flame keeps going out, there could be an issue with the thermocouple or gas valve. Our engineers will diagnose and repair these components for reliable, stable flame operation.
Clicking Noise When Igniting
Moisture, a faulty igniter, or a loose connection may cause persistent clicking. We'll identify the cause and resolve it to restore normal operation.
Burner Ports Blocked or Dirty
Blocked or dirty burner ports can lead to uneven flames or poor performance. Our engineers can clean or unblock these to ensure efficient gas flow.
Uneven Flame Distribution
Can indicate clogged burner holes or an issue with gas pressure regulation.
Hob Spark Continuously Clicking After Ignition
Often caused by a stuck igniter switch or moisture trapped under the knobs.
Hob Ignites but Flame Is Too Low or Too High
Might be due to incorrect air-to-gas ratio, regulator issues, or blocked jets.
Gas Hob Keeps Shutting Off During Use
May be caused by a faulty thermocouple or failing flame supervision device.
Gas Knobs Are Stiff or Hard to Turn
Could be a buildup of grease, or a problem with the valve mechanism.
Hob Surface Overheating
Indicates poor ventilation or internal heat regulation issues.
LED/Display Panel Malfunctions (for hybrid or modern models)
Can be linked to electrical faults or motherboard issues on advanced hobs.
Noisy Flame (Roaring Sound)
May indicate high gas pressure or poorly adjusted air shutters.
Gas Leaking from Regulator or Pipe Joints
Requires immediate attention—this is often listed under emergency repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Gas Safe engineer to repair my gas hob?
Yes, only a Gas Safe certified engineer can safely repair your gas hob, cooker or oven.
Can you repair electric hobs as well?
Yes, we repair both gas and electric hobs, covering all major brands and models.
Is there a warranty on repairs?
Yes, all repairs come with a 12-month guarantee for parts and labour.
What if the necessary part is not available?
If a specific part isn't available on-site, our engineer will order it and arrange a second visit to complete the repair.
How much does it cost to replace a gas hob UK?
In the UK, replacing a gas hob can cost anywhere from £190 to £1150 depending on the model. Installation alone can cost between £90 and £220, including labor and possibly some fittings. Adding new gas lines or modifying worktops can increase the cost of more complex installations.
Can an electrician install a gas hob?
Gas hobs cannot be installed by an electrician. In the UK, gas hob installation must be performed by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Professional Gas Safe engineers are specifically trained and registered to work with gas appliances, which means they are able to install them safely and legally. It is illegal and dangerous to attempt to install a gas hob without the proper qualifications.
Is it worth it to repair a gas hob?
We always encourage you to try to repair your gas hob rather than replace it. If the repair cost exceeds 50% of the cost of a new hob, or if your hob has exceeded 50% of its estimated lifespan, replacing it is usually more cost-effective.
How long does a gas hob repair take?
Most repairs, like ignition or burner issues, take 1–2 hours; Complex repairs might need a second visit if a spare part has to be purchased.
Will you issue a certificate after repair?
Yes—for any repairs involving gas lines or leaks, our engineers issue a CP12 Gas Safety Certificate.
