Installation Terms and Conditions

Installation

We offer an installation service for most of the products we sell, but we won't be able to connect your new items if:

  • Any electrical/plumbing supplies needed fail the delivery team's testing or are unsuitable.
  • Any water supply needed cannot be isolated or is unsuitable.
  • Any drainage/waste facilities needed are unusable.
  • Mechanical adjustments are required to the item(s) to overcome such things as water pressure etc) Alterations to existing plumbing and electrical are required.

If you're making use of a connection/installation service and haven’t opted for our disconnection service, please disconnect (and defrost if necessary) the appliance before we arrive.

From time to time we may offer installation services as part of a promotion, for example half price or free installation. Postcode restrictions apply, you can find out if installation is available in your area in the checkout.

Conditions for Gas and Electric Installation

We have an elite team of Gas Safe engineers who are also skilled in electrical connections and able to install your new cookers, range cookers, hobs and ovens. The charges for our gas and electrical installations are clearly highlighted on our Gas and Electrical Connection page.

If you need us to disconnect your old appliance, we will do this when we arrive (and for gas and hard-wire installations, disconnection is included in the installation charge).

As you can probably imagine, for your safety, there are a lot of rules around connecting cookers so there are things that we need you to check before we arrive:

Please ensure that you have suitable ventilation. This could be an extraction fan or a window that opens.

You need to check the dimensions of your new appliance and make sure there'll be enough room around the back and side for ventilation once we've installed it. You need to make sure you've got an adequate gap between your cooker or hob and anything above it. The dimensions of this space, known as the "Hot Zone", need to comply with the manufacturer requirements and Gas Safe legislation. It also needs to be completely clear of any flammable materials, such as wallpaper, cupboards or shelves and plug sockets. If we arrive and the Hot Zone isn't clear, we won't be able to complete your installation.

There needs to be an existing gas supply to the installation point. The room that we're connecting into needs to have a door or window to the outside of the property to allow for adequate ventilation and we also need access to a 3 pin electric socket within 1.5 metres of the installation area

If you're planning to run your appliance using cylinder gas, you'll need to make us aware when you place your order. This helps us make sure we've got everything we need to connect it when we arrive!

Installing Hobs and Cookers

We will install all hobs based on the current hole in the worktop not being any larger than the size of your new hob. If required, we can make this hole bigger to install the new hob but we can only cut into worktops that are made of wood. This means surfaces such as granite, composite or metal will have to be the right size for installation before we get there.

For electric cookers and hobs, we need to be able to access an isolation switch and electricity supply at the connection point.

There are some induction hobs we can't connect due to the type of wiring required and we'll only be able to know for sure when we arrive. If this happens, you'll need to call out an electrician to complete your installation.

If we are connecting a built-in or built under oven, we'll also assess the housing before installation to make sure it's safe for use and can hold the weight of the appliance. We'll check to make sure there isn't any existing damage and unfortunately, if we do find damage, we'll not be able to fit your appliance. You need to make sure you've got an adequate gap between your cooker or hob and anything above it. The dimensions of this space, known as the "Hot Zone", need to comply with the manufacturer requirements and Gas Safe legislation. It also needs to be completely clear of any flammable materials, such as wallpaper, cupboards or shelves and plug sockets. If we arrive and the Hot Zone isn't clear, we won't be able to complete your installation.

There needs to be an existing gas supply to the installation point. The room that we're connecting into needs to have a door or window to the outside of the property to allow for adequate ventilation and we also need access to a 3 pin electric socket within 1.2 metres of the installation area

If you're planning to run your appliance using cylinder gas, you'll need to make us aware when you place your order. This helps us make sure we've got everything we need to connect it when we arrive! To install a gas item, our engineers will need to switch off your gas supply so that they can carry out the work safely. We'll always turn back on and attempt to restart any items you need us to. However, on occasion, some gas items - such as boilers - may not restart and you'll need to call out a Heating Engineer. This is very rare but if it does happen, we will not be responsible for any boiler repair costs.

What is WEEE?

The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items. In the UK, distributors (including retailers) must provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge. Those establishing their own take-back scheme must as a minimum offer all customers buying new electrical equipment free take back of their old electricals on a like-for-like basis.
