If you need a Gas Safe engineer for cooker installation, using a certified professional is not optional — it is a legal requirement in the UK.
Gas cooker installation involves direct work on gas pipework, appliances, and safety controls. Incorrect installation can lead to gas leaks, carbon monoxide exposure, fire risks, and invalid insurance.

Why Must a Gas Safe Engineer Install a Gas Cooker?
Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, any work on gas appliances must be carried out by a Gas Safe-registered engineer.
Official legislation:

This includes:
- Installing a new gas cooker
- Replacing an existing cooker
- Altering gas pipework
- Disconnecting or reconnecting gas appliances
