Gas Cooker & Hob Repair in Hounslow
Gas Hob Not Lighting? We Fix It Fast
Searching for gas hob repair near me? A burner that won't light, clicks but doesn't ignite, or burns with an uneven yellow flame is a job for a Gas Safe registered engineer, not a DIY fix. At JB Gas and Heating, we diagnose and repair gas cookers and hobs quickly and safely, across Hounslow and the surrounding area.
From a single stubborn burner to a full gas cooker that's stopped working altogether, we get to the root of the problem — blocked jets, faulty ignition switches, worn thermocouples, or damaged valves — and fix it properly the first time. If it turns out the fault is with your wider system rather than the appliance itself, we also carry out gas safety checks and certificates for landlords and homeowners.

Signs Your Gas Hob or Cooker Needs Repair
Most gas cooker and hob faults give some warning before they fail completely. Catching these early usually means a simpler, cheaper repair — and avoids being left without a working hob altogether.
- Burner clicks repeatedly but won't light
- Flame burns yellow or orange instead of blue
- One or more burners won't stay lit
- A faint smell of gas near the hob or cooker
- Sooty marks building up around burner heads
- Oven pilot light keeps going out
If you're dealing with any of these, it's worth booking a repair before the fault gets worse or spreads to other burners. We also cover the wider heating system if the issue turns out to be connected — from boiler repairs to gas pipe repairs.
Common Questions
Gas cooker and hob problems come up more often than people expect — here are the questions we're asked most by homeowners and landlords across Hounslow searching for gas hob repair near them.
A gas hob that won't light is usually down to one of a few common faults:
- A faulty ignition spark or switch
- A blocked burner jet
- Moisture trapped after cleaning
- A worn thermocouple
- Food debris built up around the burner cap
Clicking but no flame, a weak or yellow flame, or one burner working while others don't are all worth having checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Common warning signs include burners that won't ignite or stay lit, an oven pilot light that keeps going out, uneven or lazy flames, a smell of gas near the appliance, sooty marks around burners, or the cooker taking longer than usual to heat up. Any of these are worth a professional inspection rather than waiting for the fault to get worse.
No. A faulty gas hob or cooker can lead to incomplete combustion, gas leaks, or carbon monoxide build-up. If you smell gas, turn off the supply if it's safe to do so, ventilate the room, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 before anything else. For non-emergency faults, stop using the appliance and book a Gas Safe registered engineer to inspect it.
Cost depends on the fault — a blocked jet or ignition switch is typically a quicker, lower-cost fix than a thermocouple or valve replacement. We always diagnose the issue and confirm the price with you before any work begins, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
