Cooker and hob connection
A new cooker connected with the correct hose, clips and regulator, then tested with every burner lit.
Gas work has no small mistakes. We connect cookers and hobs, replace worn hoses and regulators, run gas pipe from the cylinder to the kitchen, and test every joint before the first flame is lit.

A new cooker connected with the correct hose, clips and regulator, then tested with every burner lit.
Cracked, stiff or out-of-date hoses changed, and regulators that leak or will not close replaced.
A fixed pipe run from an outdoor cylinder position to the cooker, with a shut-off valve you can reach.
Every joint from the cylinder to the appliance checked, and the leaking one remade or replaced.
The outlet shifted to suit a new kitchen layout during a renovation.
An isolation valve fitted near the appliance, so the gas can be closed without going to the cylinder.
Most homes in Qatar cook on LPG cylinders supplied by Woqod. Woqod has warned customers against regulators that are not approved for its cylinders, because a poor fit can damage the cylinder valve and let gas escape.
Its guidance is short: use only approved regulators and hoses, check the connection for leaks after every cylinder change, and turn the regulator to the closed position whenever the cooker is not in use.
The leak check is simple. Brush soapy water over the regulator and hose joints with the gas on. Bubbles that grow mean gas is escaping at that point. Close the valve and have the joint remade.
We look at the cylinder position, the route to the appliance and the condition of what is there now.

Pipe, hose, regulator and shut-off valve are fitted and fixed so nothing hangs or rubs.
Every joint is tested with the gas on, then each burner is lit and checked for a steady blue flame.
A new kitchen usually needs more than the gas point. We also connect the sink and its drain, fit an under-sink water filter and check the supply lines for leaks. See the full list of plumbing services in Doha.
Check it every time you change the cylinder. Replace it at the first sign of cracking, stiffness or stickiness, and in any case by the date printed on the hose. A hose near the oven ages faster.
Yes, for joints you can see and reach. It will not find a leak in a pipe buried in a wall. If you smell gas and the visible joints show no bubbles, close the valve and call.
It is safer outside the kitchen in a ventilated spot, with a fixed pipe to the cooker. Gas that leaks inside a closed cabinet has nowhere to go and builds up at floor level.
The gas is not mixing with enough air. Blocked burner ports are the usual cause, followed by a regulator giving the wrong pressure. The burner should be cleaned and the regulator checked.
Commercial gas systems must meet Civil Defence requirements and be installed by an approved contractor. Describe your kitchen to us first, and we will tell you whether the job is within what we do.
Yes. Tell us the model and whether it is gas, electric or both. A dual-fuel cooker also needs an electrical connection, which our electricians handle.
For a strong smell of gas, leave the room and call 999. For gas line installation and repairs in Doha, call or message us.
