Completion
We check the supply at your address and the appliance requirements before settling the gasfitting scope. Stately covers Hobsonville. Getting these details agreed early helps you choose a cooker that fits the kitchen, rather than changing finished cabinetry around an unsuitable purchase.
Measure the opening, not the old cooker
Start with the available cabinet opening, including its width, depth and the surrounding benchtop height. Photograph both sides and the wall behind the cooker. The old appliance dimensions are useful background, but they are not a substitute for the new model’s installation instructions. Keep the exact product code with your measurements.
We compare the proposed position with the manufacturer’s requirements for that appliance. Cabinet edges, nearby finishes and the space above the cooking surface belong in that assessment. Let the gasfitter confirm the installation requirements before a cabinetmaker alters anything. A cooker that slides into the opening still needs its full installation checked.
Match the cooker to the address supply
Confirm whether gas is already connected at the property and what supply serves the kitchen. Do not order on the assumption that natural gas is available at the address. Send a photograph of the cooker’s rating information or its product specification so we can check the proposed appliance against the actual supply.
Tell us whether the replacement has a gas oven as well as gas burners, or an electric oven underneath. That changes the coordination brief. We assess the gas connection needed for the selected cooker, while any electrical work belongs with the appropriate electrical trade. Keep both requirements on the same appliance schedule.

Inspect what sits behind the existing appliance
The connection behind the old cooker needs inspection before its reuse is agreed. Photographs help explain the job, but the condition and suitability of the existing gas installation need an onsite assessment. Report any known operating problems separately from the replacement request so they remain part of the agreed scope.
A licensed gasfitter must undertake the gas work. Check the PGDB register before engaging someone. We establish whether the installation needs a new connection or repairs to existing gas components. Do not disconnect the old cooker yourself to clear the opening. Arrange its removal as part of the installation sequence.
Coordinate delivery with cabinet changes
Agree who supplies the cooker, who receives it and who approves any cabinet alterations. Have the installation instructions available before surrounding work starts. If the chosen model changes, send the replacement specifications through before delivery. Similar looking cookers can place their connections differently, which affects the plan for the existing opening.
Once the appliance and opening are confirmed, the gasfitter installs the agreed gas connection and checks the completed work. Keep installation testing separate from cosmetic finishing in the work programme. Ask which tasks must happen before the cooker reaches its final position, and which surrounding jobs can follow after the gasfitting is complete.
Keep the handover with the cooker instructions
At handover, we explain the completed gas work and leave the applicable paperwork with you. WorkSafe requires a Gas Safety Certificate for connected gas work. General and high risk gasfitting also require a Certificate of Compliance. For servicing or repairs, the paperwork follows the actual work undertaken, rather than an automatic certificate bundle.
Keep those records alongside the appliance instructions and confirmed model details. If you smell gas, do not use flames or operate electrical switches. Leave the area and call your gas supplier or a gasfitter from outside. Treat a suspected leak separately from any planned cooker replacement. Keep the certification paperwork with your appliance records.
Gas fitter: questions from Hobsonville
Can I buy the same width cooker?
Width alone is not enough. Send the exact model specifications so the gasfitter can assess the opening, supply and installation requirements before purchase.
Should the cabinetmaker finish first?
Share the appliance instructions before cabinetry is altered. Agree the sequence with both trades so connection access and the cooker position are settled before finishing.
What should I send with my enquiry?
Send the address, cooker model, opening measurements and photographs of the surrounding cabinets. Include known supply details and say whether the old cooker remains connected.

I had the team come out to install a gas hot water system for me recently and it was an absolute pleasure to have these guys come out and do some work for me. The response time from me requesting the work, to the work being completed, was the best I have ever had! They showed up on time, the communication was great, they are super efficient and they did a top quality job! Couldn't ask for anything more. Highly recommend these guys!
