What moves the price
- Existing point or new circuit — connecting to a suitable cooker outlet costs far less than a new circuit
- Appliance load — induction hobs and double ovens may need a larger cable and breaker
- Separate oven and hob — two appliances may need a cooker switch and two connection points
- Cable route — running a new cable from the consumer unit through floors adds time
- Consumer unit space — a full or old consumer unit may need work before a new circuit is added
- Certification — new cooker circuits are certified and notified under Part P, which adds to the electrician's time
Electrical work prices in the UK are up 6% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Services for maintenance and repair, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical cooker & hob wiring would have cost about £140 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7DO →

How to pay less
- Choose an induction hob that suits your existing cooker circuit to avoid a new cable run
- Have the cooker and hob wired at the same visit as other kitchen electrics
- Book cooker wiring when the kitchen is being fitted, before worktops and tiles go on
Before you book
- New cooker circuits are notifiable under Part P, so use an electrician registered with a scheme such as NICEIC or NAPIT
- A gas hob is connected by a Gas Safe engineer rather than an electrician, so book both if needed
- Check the appliance's power rating and required cable size before booking
- Ask whether the price includes a cooker switch and certificate
Cooker & Hob Wiring cost: questions people ask
£60–£450 per job, about £150 typical. A swap onto an existing cooker point costs least; a new dedicated circuit costs the most.
About thirty minutes to an hour on an existing point, and around half a day for a new circuit.
Often, if the existing cable or breaker is too small for the hob's load. An electrician checks the rating before connecting it.
Simple reconnections are possible but risky. New circuits must be done by a registered electrician and certified.
Gas connections, kitchen fitting and consumer unit upgrades are separate. Ask whether a cooker switch is included.
