Why choose a gas hob?

A gas hob heats your pan the moment you turn the dial, giving you responsive, precise control that many home cooks prefer. The visible flame makes it easy to judge heat levels at a glance - turn it up for a rolling boil, drop it low for a gentle simmer.

Gas hobs also work with almost any pan material, from stainless steel to cast iron, so there's no need to replace your existing cookware. For anyone who cooks often, the combination of speed, control and reliability is hard to beat.

Types of gas hobs we stock

Our collection covers the most popular styles and sizes to suit different kitchens and cooking habits.

Built-in gas hobs

Built-in (or built-under) gas hobs sit flush into your worktop for a clean, integrated finish. They pair neatly with a built-in oven to create a coordinated cooking setup.

4-burner and 5-burner gas hobs

A 4-burner gas hob is the everyday standard for most households. If you cook large meals or use bigger pans, a 5-burner model - often with a central wok burner - gives you extra space and higher output.

60cm and 90cm gas hobs

A 60cm gas hob fits standard kitchen units and typically houses four burners. A 90cm gas hob offers a wider cooking area, making it a strong choice for keen cooks and open-plan kitchens.

Compact 2-burner gas hobs

For smaller kitchens, flats or utility spaces, a compact 2-burner gas hob delivers gas cooking without taking up much room.

Key features to look for

When comparing gas hobs, these features make daily cooking safer and easier:

  • Flame failure safety device (FSD): cuts the gas supply automatically if the flame goes out - an essential safety feature.
  • Auto ignition: lights the burner at the turn of a dial, with no need for matches or a lighter.
  • Cast iron pan supports: hold pans securely and handle heavy cookware with ease.
  • Wok burner: a high-power central burner for stir-fries and fast cooking.
  • LPG compatibility: many hobs can be converted for LPG (bottled gas) where mains gas isn't available.

How to choose the right gas hob

Choose a gas hob by matching the width to your worktop cut-out (usually 60cm or 90cm), the number of burners to how you cook (4 for most homes, 5 for larger meals), and checking for flame failure safety and auto ignition. Then pick a brand and finish that suits your budget and kitchen style.

Start with the space you have, then think about how much you cook. Measure your existing cut-out before you buy, and confirm your kitchen has a mains gas supply or LPG. If you're replacing an old hob, a like-for-like size makes installation more straightforward.

FAQ's

The best gas hob depends on your kitchen size, cooking style and budget. Popular choices include four or five-burner stainless steel and gas-on-glass models with cast iron pan supports and flame safety devices. Atlantic Electrics stocks trusted brands like Bosch, Neff and Smeg, offering reliable performance, easy cleaning and stylish finishes to suit most UK kitchens.
Gas hobs in the UK typically cost between £150 and £600, depending on size, brand and features. Entry-level four-burner models start around £150, while premium five-burner gas-on-glass or wok-burner hobs cost more. Atlantic Electrics offers competitive pricing across leading brands, with regular deals making higher-specification models more affordable for online shoppers.
Most standard gas hobs measure 58–60cm wide, fitting the common UK 56cm worktop cutout. Larger 70–75cm five-burner models suit bigger kitchens and keen cooks needing extra space. Always check the manufacturer's cutout dimensions before purchasing. Atlantic Electrics lists full specifications for each hob, helping you match the right size to your worktop and cabinetry.
No, gas hobs must be installed by a Gas Safe registered engineer by law in the UK. Self-installation is illegal and dangerous, risking gas leaks and invalidating your warranty. Only qualified professionals can legally connect a hob to your gas supply. Atlantic Electrics recommends arranging certified installation to ensure safety and full compliance with UK regulations.
Gas hobs are generally cheaper to run per unit than electric or induction, as UK gas costs less than electricity. However, induction is more energy-efficient, transferring around 90% of heat to the pan versus roughly 40% for gas. Your overall savings depend on usage and energy tariffs. Gas remains popular for responsive, controllable cooking at lower running costs.
A flame safety device (FSD) automatically cuts the gas supply if the flame goes out, preventing dangerous gas leaks. It's a standard safety feature on most modern UK gas hobs and highly recommended for households with children. Atlantic Electrics stocks numerous hobs with built-in FSDs, offering added peace of mind for everyday cooking safety.
Clean a gas hob by removing the pan supports and burner caps once cool, then soaking them in warm soapy water. Wipe the surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive cleaners. Gas-on-glass models are easiest to maintain. Dry all parts fully before refitting. Regular cleaning prevents grease build-up and keeps burners performing efficiently.
Gas-on-glass hobs feature a sleek, flat glass surface that's easy to wipe clean and looks contemporary, while stainless steel offers a durable, traditional finish. Glass models suit modern kitchens but can scratch; stainless steel resists heat and knocks well. Both perform identically for cooking. Atlantic Electrics stocks both styles, so you can choose based on aesthetics and maintenance preferences.
Yes, most gas hobs include a manufacturer's warranty, typically one to two years covering parts and labour. Premium brands like Neff and Bosch sometimes offer extended cover on registration. Warranties usually require professional Gas Safe installation to remain valid. Atlantic Electrics provides warranty details on each product page, ensuring you understand your cover before purchasing.
Delivery times vary by product and location, but Atlantic Electrics typically offers fast UK delivery, often within a few working days for in-stock hobs. Delivery options and estimated dates are shown at checkout. For returns, most retailers allow returns within 14–30 days if the hob is unused and in original packaging, subject to their returns policy.
