Replacing 4 burner gas hob with 5 burner gas hob

Posted by K B, on
I have a 4 burner gas hob 59cm width, is it possible to replace it with a 5 burner gas hob about 10-15 cm more wider than original when I replace my worktop? I have cupboards on both side of extractor fan (60cm width) and cupboards on both side of the oven sitting right below. Thanks

Hi K you will need to move the wall cupboards either side of the extractor as they would now be sitting over the new wider hob, so a potential fire risk! Ed

Should be fine as hob does not sit lower then bottom of worktop, you will need gas safe engineer to fit.

What would you like to do now?
