A gas oven is the heart of many homes, but it must be installed and maintained correctly to ensure safety and performance. Whether you’re upgrading to a new cooker or need your current oven checked, it’s vital to use a Gas Safe registered engineer.

Why Use a Gas Safe Engineer?

Gas appliances can be dangerous if not installed or maintained properly. By law in the UK, only a Gas Safe registered engineer can legally fit or service a gas oven. This ensures your home is safe from gas leaks and carbon monoxide.

Signs Your Gas Oven Needs Servicing

Strange smells (possible gas leak)
Uneven cooking or poor flame control
Yellow or flickering flames instead of steady blue
Difficulty igniting the oven
It hasn’t been serviced for over 12–24 months

If you notice any of these, book a service immediately to prevent costly repairs or safety hazards.
