Hobs for sale
New hobs from £189, delivered and installed across Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire — with your old one taken away and recycled.
We supply and fit built-in hobs in every current format: induction, radiant ceramic, gas-on-glass, traditional gas-on-steel, and domino modules for narrow runs. Brands include Bosch, Neff, Siemens, AEG, Zanussi, Whirlpool, Hotpoint, Beko, Smeg, CDA and Lamona, in 60cm, 70cm, 77cm and 90cm widths. Choosing a hob is as much about the worktop cut-out and the electrical supply as it is about the appliance, so we check both before recommending anything. Our engineers fit the hob themselves. That includes verifying the cut-out dimensions and squareness, sealing the panel correctly against the worktop so spills can't get underneath, torquing the mounting clips without distorting the glass, confirming the ventilation clearance to whatever sits below, and connecting to a correctly rated supply. Induction hobs generally need a 32A cooker circuit — a common surprise for anyone moving from gas — and we'll establish what's there before you order rather than on installation day. Gas connections are made by a Gas Safe registered engineer, who also checks the appliance's flame picture and working pressure on commissioning. Your old hob is removed and taken for WEEE recycling at no extra cost.
What we sell
Before you buy: is repairing cheaper?
Hobs divide sharply by type when it comes to the repair decision. Gas and radiant ceramic hobs repair very well: elements, regulators, electrodes and thermocouples are cheap parts, so a £90 call-out plus one of them against a £250–£450 replacement clears the 50% rule comfortably. Induction is tighter, because the power modules are substantial electronic assemblies and much the most expensive part on the hob, against a replacement at £350–£700 plus fitting. A module repair on a hob under five years old is usually sound; on an eight-year-old budget induction hob it often isn't. Typical lifespans are 12–15 years for gas, 10–14 for ceramic and 8–12 for induction. In practice, though, cracked glass ends more hobs than component failure does, and on cheaper models the replacement panel genuinely can cost more than a new appliance. One thing worth weighing before replacing: swapping a hob means checking the worktop cut-out dimensions and the electrical supply, since induction typically needs a 32A cooker circuit rather than the 13A a gas hob's ignition ran from. Environmentally, a hob is a dense assembly of glass, steel and copper whose manufacture far exceeds its running impact, so repairing where the numbers allow is clearly the better choice. We'll be honest about which side of the line yours falls.

How to choose the right hob
Induction versus ceramic versus gas
Induction boils fastest, gives instant control, and keeps the kitchen cooler because it heats the pan rather than the air — but it needs ferrous pans and a 32A supply. Radiant ceramic is cheaper and works with any pan. Gas offers visible flame control and works in a power cut, but transfers only around 40–55 percent of its energy into the pan.
Check the worktop cut-out before anything else
Cut-outs are model-specific and rarely identical between manufacturers even at the same nominal width — a 60cm hob might need 560 x 490mm or 560 x 480mm. Enlarging a cut-out in laminate is possible; in granite or quartz it means a stone fabricator. We measure and match before ordering.
Zone layout and flexible bridging
Standard four-zone layouts suit most cooking, but a flexible or bridging zone lets you combine two areas for a griddle or fish kettle, which is genuinely useful if you cook that way. Consider where your largest pans go — some 60cm hobs only have one zone big enough for a 28cm pan.
Power management and total load
A 60cm induction hob can draw 7.2kW at full tilt, which is why most have a power management setting to cap total draw so all four zones can run together within the circuit rating. Check the hob's total connected load against your cooker circuit, especially if an electric oven shares it.
Ventilation clearance below
Every induction hob specifies a minimum air gap to whatever sits underneath, plus ventilation for the cooling fan. Over a drawer unit you typically need a protective shelf or a reduced-depth drawer. Getting this wrong is the leading cause of early power module failure, so plan it before you buy.
Venting hobs with integrated extraction
Downdraft venting hobs pull steam and grease down through a central channel, removing the need for an overhead hood — excellent in island installations and rooms with sloping ceilings. They need space in the cabinet below for the motor and ducting, and cost considerably more, but they solve a real layout problem.
Controls: touch, slider or knobs
Slider controls let you set a power level directly rather than tapping up through nine steps, which is noticeably better in daily use. Knob-controlled hobs are the most robust and the easiest to use with wet or floury hands. Plain touch pads are cheapest and the most affected by spills and damp cloths.
Pan compatibility if you go induction
Before committing, test your existing pans with a fridge magnet — if it doesn't stick firmly to the base, that pan won't work. Most modern stainless and cast iron is fine; aluminium, copper and some older stainless is not. Factor in the cost of replacing pans if a lot of your set fails the magnet test.
Do you fit the hob and take the old one away?
Yes, both included. We verify the cut-out, seal the panel to the worktop, torque the clips without distorting the glass, check ventilation clearance below and connect to a correctly rated supply. Gas connections are made by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The old hob goes for WEEE recycling.
Can I switch from gas to induction?
Usually, but it needs an adequate electrical supply — typically a 32A cooker circuit, which many gas kitchens don't have. We'll check what's present and tell you what would be required. Any new circuit work should be carried out by a qualified electrician before the installation date.
Will a new hob fit my existing worktop cut-out?
Often, but not always — cut-out sizes vary between manufacturers even at the same nominal width. We measure your existing aperture and match a model to it wherever possible. If the cut-out needs enlarging, that's straightforward in laminate but needs a stone fabricator in granite or quartz.
Do I need new pans for an induction hob?
Only if your current ones aren't ferrous. Test each pan with a fridge magnet — if it sticks firmly to the base, it will work. Most modern stainless steel and all cast iron is fine; aluminium, copper and some older stainless won't work at all. It's worth checking before you order.
How quickly can you deliver and install?
Stocked hobs are typically fitted within two to four working days across Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. If the cut-out needs modification or new electrical work is required, we'll build that into the schedule so everything is ready on the day.
Do you sell venting hobs with built-in extraction?
Yes. They're an excellent solution for islands and rooms where an overhead hood isn't practical. They need space in the cabinet below for the motor and ducting, and either an external duct route or a recirculation filter, so we survey the cabinet layout before quoting.
