Gas Hob / the buying desk
Can your usual pans share the hob?
Look at burner positions as well as burner count. The layout matters when two wide pans need to sit alongside each other.

Gas Hob buying notes
Read the gas hob guide →Space and clearance checker
Check one dimension at a time using measurements you have verified. Enter the clearance from the exact product instructions; this calculator does not decide a safe installation allowance.
Gas type
Put the dimensions of the pans you use together beside the hob drawing. Check the worktop cut-out and the clearances given for the exact model.
Burner positions
Confirm the gas type and any conversion requirements in the manufacturer’s documents. Ask a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered engineer about installation and safety.
Cut-out and clearance
Use the model’s installation drawing for both cut-out dimensions and required clearances.
