Common Gas Stove & Hob Faults
From burners that won't light to ignition that keeps clicking and flames that go out, we find the cause on-site and give you a clear quote before any repair work starts.
You hear clicking but get no flame, or the burner won't light at all, on one ring or several.
The igniter clicks non-stop even after the burner lights, or doesn't spark when you press the knob.
The burner lights but goes out when you let go of the knob, often a flame safety device fault.
A low flame, a yellow or orange flame, or a ring that burns unevenly and cooks slowly.
Knobs that are hard to turn, loose, or no longer control the flame properly.
The gas oven won't light, loses its flame, or doesn't reach the temperature you set.
The gas or electric grill won't light, won't heat, or heats unevenly.
Dual-fuel cookers with a gas hob and electric oven: we diagnose faults on both parts in one visit.
Gas stove safety check
Most gas stove faults are annoying rather than dangerous, and can wait for a normal repair visit. A few are warning signs you shouldn't ignore. Here's how to tell the difference.
Avoid the faulty burner until it's fixed. We'll diagnose it and quote before any work starts.
Turn off the gas at the cylinder or supply valve, avoid flames and switches, and ventilate if safe. Don't use the stove again until it's been checked.

Gas stove & hob care
A few simple habits help your burners light easily, burn evenly and stay safe, and help you spot a developing fault before it becomes a problem.
Spills that block the small burner holes cause weak or uneven flames. Clean caps and heads once cool, following your manual.
A wet burner or igniter often clicks without lighting. Make sure everything is fully dry before you use the stove again.
After cleaning, make sure each cap sits flat and centred. A cap that's slightly off causes uneven flames and lighting trouble.
For cylinder stoves, look for cracked, hard or kinked hoses and check the hose date. Have worn parts replaced by a qualified person.
Knobs that become hard to turn or no longer control the flame smoothly are an early sign a valve or control needs attention.
If a burner only stays lit while you hold the knob, or keeps going out, stop using that burner and have it checked.

Common causes are a wet or dirty igniter, blocked burner holes, or a burner cap that isn't sitting properly. Make sure everything is dry and the cap is seated flat. If it still won't light, the igniter or ignition module may need repair.
Many stoves have a flame safety device (thermocouple) that keeps the gas flowing only while it senses a flame. If it's dirty, misaligned or worn, the flame cuts out when you release the knob. This is a common repair. Stop using that burner until it's checked.
A healthy flame is steady and blue. Yellow, weak or uneven flames usually point to blocked burner holes, a dirty burner, a misplaced cap or a gas supply or regulator problem. If cleaning doesn't fix it, book a check.
We repair Elba, Defy, Smeg, Bosch, AEG, Siemens, Whirlpool and many other gas stove, hob and gas oven brands, depending on the model and parts availability.
Stop using the stove and turn off the gas at the cylinder or supply valve. Don't use flames, light switches or anything that could spark, and open windows and doors if it's safe to.
If the smell is strong or you're unsure, leave the area and get gas-safety help before using the stove again. Never test for a leak with a flame.
