Hi I've just ordered a gas hob to replace an electric unit which I hate. I know it has to be installed by a CORGI registered engineer, but I don't want to get stung by a yellow pages cowboy who is going to end up charging a huge amount for parts/labour. I'd be very greatful if someone either in the business or who had a hob connected recently could give me a rough guide price, as I haven't got the faintest idea what such a job would cost.
Prior to the electric hob, there was a gas cooker, so I really only need the hob to be connected to the existing gas pipe which is a few inches below the worktop. I assume that the fitter would just need to remove the cap, put a bayonet fitting on the top, and connect via a flexible hose to the hob. If I'm wrong, the correction would be appriciated.
Thanks in advance,
John
