Completion
A gasfitter needs to check the supply at your address against the appliance designation before installation. Stately covers Stanmore Bay, so include those details when enquiring about gasfitting.
Separate the order from the delivered appliance
Start with what you ordered and what actually arrived. The online listing, invoice, carton and appliance data plate can contain different information. Photograph each rather than relying on the product name alone. A cooker sold under one range name can have separate versions for different fuels, making the full model reference important.
Tell the supplier exactly where the mismatch appears. Ask them to confirm the delivered appliance specification in writing and explain the replacement process. Keep the packaging and supplied documents together while that conversation happens. This gives the supplier something concrete to investigate and helps avoid ordering another appliance with the same unresolved designation.
Confirm the fuel at your address
Do not select a replacement on the basis that another house uses natural gas or LPG. We check the supply serving your address and the connection intended for the cooking appliance. Share any existing appliance details and supply account information you have. These help prepare the enquiry, but the installation still needs assessment.
An existing hob working in that position is useful background, not confirmation that the delivered cooker suits it. We compare the appliance identification and manufacturer instructions with the actual supply and proposed connection. Explain whether the appliance is replacing a hob, replacing a freestanding cooker or moving to a different position in the kitchen.

Resolve replacement or conversion before fitting
Ask the supplier whether they will exchange the appliance for the correct fuel version. That decision should come before booking the final connection or altering cabinetry around an uncertain model. Confirm the replacement model reference, dimensions and fuel designation together. A correction to the fuel specification should not quietly become a change to the kitchen layout.
Conversion is an option only where the manufacturer provides for it for that exact appliance. A gasfitter checks the instructions and specified components before agreeing to that work. Do not change injectors, adjust gas controls or try the appliance to see whether it works. Gas work must be done by a licensed gasfitter; you can check the licence on the PGDB register.
Keep installation decisions tied to the resolved model
Once the fuel issue is resolved, send through the confirmed appliance instructions before the installation is arranged. We check the connection requirements, appliance position and manufacturer requirements for ventilation and surrounding surfaces. The installer checks the requirements for the actual appliance rather than carrying over assumptions from the cooker being removed.
Agree whether the scope is installing the replacement, completing an approved conversion or disconnecting the old appliance as well. Keep supplier exchanges separate from gasfitting repairs so responsibility stays clear. A wrong designation alone is not a remote diagnosis of the appliance or pipework. Any repair recommendation follows assessment of what is actually there.
Keep a clear record at handover
At handover, keep the appliance instructions, confirmed fuel details and gasfitting paperwork together. Ask the gasfitter to explain the completed work and appliance operation. If a conversion was completed, retain its documentation alongside the original purchase record so a future service enquiry starts with the correct specification.
Connected gas work needs a Gas Safety Certificate. General and high risk gasfitting also need a Certificate of Compliance. For servicing or repairs, the paperwork must match the actual work undertaken. Keep the supplier's exchange correspondence too, particularly where the replacement appliance has a different model or serial number. Keep the certification paperwork with your appliance records.
Gas fitter: questions from Stanmore Bay
Can the carton label settle the fuel question?
Send photographs of both the carton and appliance data plate. The gasfitter needs the appliance identification and instructions, while the supplier needs the order details to investigate the delivery.
Should I buy a conversion kit myself?
Wait until the gasfitter has checked whether the manufacturer permits conversion of the exact model. A kit advertised for a similar appliance is not enough to settle suitability.
What if I smell gas after someone connects it?
Avoid flames and electrical switches. Leave the building and call your gas supplier or a gasfitter from outside. Do not investigate the connection or attempt a repair yourself.

Thomas was professional, fast and efficient. He explained things clearly, and honestly. We were about to leave for the South Island for the weekend, Thomas made sure the job was completed in good order before we left. He also checked-in with us periodically to ensure there were no further issues.
