Completion
Stop using the affected hob and arrange an assessment if the clicking persists. Note whether it starts with a particular control or continues after the controls are released. Stately Plumbing covers Massey. When you contact us, have the hob model and the cleaning sequence ready so we can discuss the gasfitting work needed.
Describe the cleaning before the clicking
Tell us whether you wiped the surface, lifted removable burner pieces or cleaned around the controls. Mention any spill that happened beforehand. These details give the gasfitter a starting point. They are observations, not proof that water has reached a particular component or that a part needs replacement.
Explain how the hob behaved before cleaning too. A burner that previously needed repeated attempts to light presents a different history from one that worked normally until that afternoon. Keep the report simple: what you touched, when the clicking began and whether it has remained constant or become intermittent. Include the model label photograph with the original heater fault report.
Keep the model and supply in the brief
Find the model reference in your appliance paperwork and send it with your enquiry. Include a photograph of the whole hob and its controls if available. Different ignition arrangements can sound similar, so identifying the appliance helps keep the assessment focused on its own instructions and components.
Tell us whether other burners click at the same time, based on what you already noticed. You do not need to reproduce the fault for a video. We also check the gas supply at the address and the appliance details. A Massey address alone does not tell us whether the hob uses reticulated gas or LPG.

Separate the symptom from the repair
The assessment starts with the reported symptom and the appliance instructions. The gasfitter checks the burner arrangement, ignition behaviour and relevant connections to narrow down the issue. Clicking after cleaning is useful timing information, but the sound alone cannot tell us which component needs attention.
Once the cause has been assessed, we can explain the proposed repair and whether a replacement component is needed. Ask for that explanation before authorising parts. If the investigation points towards an electrical component, agree who will handle that part of the work. Keep appliance replacement separate from a decision about repairing the fault.
Leave access ready, not the hob dismantled
Clear cookware from the hob and move loose cupboard contents that could obstruct access beneath it. Keep the appliance instructions handy. Tell the gasfitter if a drawer, oven or fixed panel sits below the hob so access can be discussed before work begins.
Do not dismantle gas connections or attempt gas repairs yourself. Gas work must be done by a licensed gasfitter; you can check the licence on the PGDB register. Before proceeding, agree the scope of the inspection and repair. That keeps a persistent ignition complaint from turning into an unclear list of unrelated kitchen alterations.
Finish with operation and paperwork
At handover, ask what was found, what was repaired and how the ignition should now behave. Have the controls explained using the appliance instructions. Keep a record of any replacement parts alongside the model details, particularly if another person usually does the cleaning.
Ask for the applicable paperwork for the actual work completed. WorkSafe requires a Gas Safety Certificate for connected gas work and a Certificate of Compliance for general or high risk gasfitting. A service or repair should receive the paperwork its scope requires. Keep it with the repair record and any maintenance instructions provided. Keep the certification paperwork with your appliance records.
Gas fitter: questions from Massey
Should I keep trying to light it?
Stop using the affected hob and describe the behaviour already observed. Repeated attempts are not needed to prepare for an assessment.
Does clicking mean I need another hob?
No. Arrange an assessment before choosing between repair and replacement. Have the model details ready.
What if I smell gas as well?
Do not use flames or electrical switches. Leave the property and call your gas supplier or emergency services from outside.

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!
