Hobs

Learn more about hobs

Hobs come in three main types: gas, electric ceramic and induction. Gas gives you instant, visible heat and precise flame control, which suits fast boiling and wok cooking. Electric ceramic uses a smooth glass surface heated from below, offering a flat, easy-to-clean top. Induction heats the pan directly through a magnetic field, so the surface stays cooler and response is quick.

Beyond fuel type, the range covers integrated hobs that sit flush in the worktop, induction hobs with 4 zones for larger fit-outs, gas hobs with a wok burner for high-heat cooking and dual fuel hobs. Where a kitchen fit out calls for both instant flame and induction efficiency in one appliance, a combined induction and gas hob can be the right answer.

The focus stays practical: whether you're fitting a new kitchen, replacing an appliance or handling a full refit, the right hob is the one that matches the plan, the space and the power supply.

Typical uses

• Modern family kitchens: Fitting child-safe, touch-control induction hobs into quartz or solid laminate worktops.

• Traditional & commercial refits: Installing cast-iron support gas hobs into properties with existing gas supplies.

• Rental property upgrades: Fitting tough, easy-to-clean ceramic glass hobs for landlord refurbishments.

• Compact & modular layouts: Integrating 30cm domino hobs to combine gas and induction zones side-by-side or fitting out small kitchen spaces.

How to choose the right hob

• Compare cooking performance and control: gas for instant flame, induction for fast, responsive heat, ceramic for a simple flat surface.

• Factor in running costs. Induction transfers heat efficiently to the pan, ceramic heats the surface first, and gas depends on the fuel setup.

• Check hob dimensions and cut-out size against the worktop before ordering.

• Confirm the appliance matches the available power supply and connection requirements.

• Weigh up features that add real value: multiple zones, booster function, touch controls, pan detection and a timer.

• Match the hob to how it needs to be used, whether that's fast boiling, gentle simmering or wok cooking.

• Narrow down to the right model for a small kitchen, a larger fit-out or a commercial specification.

Before you order

• Confirm the hob type, size and cut-out dimensions against the kitchen plan.

• Check clearance, extractor compatibility and any surrounding appliance requirements.

• Review power rating and fuse requirements for electric and induction models.

• Allow for fitting and any professional connection the specification calls for.

• Make sure the chosen hob matches the intended use and the space available.
