Completion
Stately covers Newmarket. Tell us the cooker model, what flooring is coming out and whether the appliance will return to the same position. That gives us a useful starting point for discussing the gasfitting work and coordinating it with your floor replacement.
Plan the removal before flooring starts
A cooker can look ready to slide out while still being connected to gas. Do not pull it forward to inspect the connection. Gas disconnection and reconnection belong with a licensed gasfitter. Check the practitioner on the PGDB register. Send a photograph taken from an accessible position and any appliance information you already have.
Tell us who is removing the old floor and who will move and store the disconnected cooker. Agree on the sequence before either trade starts. The gasfitter handles the gas connection and makes the disconnected supply safe. Your flooring team needs a clear understanding of when the appliance is ready for removal.
Check what the new floor changes
Explain whether the replacement includes underlay, levelling material or a different floor covering. A changed finished height can affect how the cooker sits beside the benches. Bring the flooring specification into the discussion so the final position is assessed against the actual finish rather than the floor being removed.
We check the proposed position, appliance instructions, gas connection arrangements and any restraint requirements. The installer checks the applicable requirements for the actual cooker, including surrounding materials and ventilation. Keep the model details available. A floor replacement should not become a guess about whether the cooker still fits its intended space.

Use the empty space to resolve access
Once the cooker has been disconnected and removed, the space behind it becomes accessible. Let the gasfitter assess the connection before flooring closes off access or changes the surrounding finish. Confirm the gas supply at the address and the appliance's suitability for it, rather than treating every cooker connection as interchangeable.
If a connection component needs repair or replacement, we explain the finding and agree on that work. We also discuss any proposed change in cooker position before pipework is altered. Keeping the cooker in the same place and moving it across the kitchen are different scopes, even when both begin with replacing the floor.
Reconnect after the finished position is ready
Ask your flooring installer when the surface is ready to take the cooker again. Pass that information on when arranging reconnection. Keep appliance instructions and loose cooker parts together during storage. Confirm whether any cabinetry or splashback work will still affect the final position before the cooker goes back.
The gasfitter reconnects the appliance, checks the connection and tests safe operation before handover. Positioning and any required restraints are checked against the appliance requirements. If you smell gas, avoid flames and electrical switches, leave the area and call for help from outside. Do not try using the cooker to investigate.
Keep the handover with your appliance records
At handover, ask what was disconnected, what was reconnected and whether any parts were changed. We explain the work completed and the operating checks. Keep that information with the cooker instructions so a later service enquiry starts with a clear record rather than memories of the flooring job.
Connected gas work needs a Gas Safety Certificate. General and high risk gasfitting also need a Certificate of Compliance. For servicing or repairs, the applicable paperwork follows the actual work undertaken. Ask which documents cover your cooker work and keep them somewhere accessible after the kitchen is back in use. Keep the certification paperwork with your appliance records.
Gas fitter: questions from Newmarket
Can the flooring installer disconnect my cooker?
Only an appropriately licensed gasfitter should undertake the gas disconnection. Check the PGDB register and arrange that work before the flooring installer needs the space.
Should flooring continue beneath the cooker?
Agree on the floor finish with your flooring installer. Give the gasfitter the proposed finished height so appliance positioning and connection requirements can be checked.
What if I decide to replace the cooker too?
Provide the proposed model before purchase. The gasfitter checks its gas suitability, installation requirements and connection needs alongside the changed floor level.
