About this deal

Of course, you can also use this easy-to-apply, fast-drying grout sealer spray on existing grout. It won't change the appearance or leave haze on the surrounding tile, whether that's natural stone, ceramic or porcelain tile, or masonry. As a bonus, the product sprays on without much over-spray and requires very little cleanup. There are guidelines for “internal” kitchens, where a gas hob is fitted. This can occur when, for example, a conservatory has been built over the external wall, making the kitchen internal. I had my gas hob fitted today. The plumber was in a hurry and didn't get it square with the worktop and the foam was all over the place. Nice soldered joints though.

Any gas hob needs to be fitted into a room with adequate ventilation, just in case there is a gas leak – a very unlikely event but potentially catastrophic. If there is not a door or window to the outside in the kitchen a gas hob should not be used.

Wipe excess sealer off the tiles, unless you are using a product meant to seal both grout and tile.

Not sure if that makes sense. I may have completely missed the point about not using silicone but the hob sits nicely now In short, yes, you can fit a gas hob into a worktop or similar yourself, however, this does not include connecting it up. Only a competant person with the correct testing equipment is allowed to do that! All gas hobs should come with detailed instructions about where they can be fitted and the safe distances that units, plugs and anything else, must be from the fitted hob. Read and follow these as they will be up to date and specific to your appliance. That said there are some general rules that you should follow: Ventilation Now you are ready to fit your new hob, although it is wise to have a good read of the appliance instructions before you start so that you are familiar with the measurements for your particular gas hob. Don’t assume that just because the gas hob or the connection hose is brand new that it can’t possibly leak. Defects can occur during manufacture and also things can get damaged during storage and transport.Drop the hob down onto the sealing strips and tighten the clips. It’s now time to call the gas fitter; you can find a local fitter here. I lifted the chassis enough to remove all the foam, so the flange would sit hard on the worktop. The cover then sat nicely flush on the worktop. I tightened the clamps, removed the cover and ran a small bead of silicone along the edge of the flange, then wiped most of it away. So there's a small wedge of silicone sealing the flange to the worktop but nothing that would prevent the hob being removed. Even if the silicone did offer some resistance, you would probably then remove the top cover to see what the problem was and run a knife around the flange. Most grout sealers today are water-based formulas, but there are also solvent-based products. Water-based grout sealers offer more surface-level protection and won’t penetrate as deeply into porous grout, but they also don’t produce as many odors or VOCs as some solvent-based formulas. For deep protection of your grout, however, a solvent-based impregnator-sealer is the best bet, since it’ll fill spaces and protect your grout from deep within.

After he left I was getting it square and trying to remove the excess foam. I noticed the problem described above where the stainless cover wasn't sitting down onto the worktop. The clamps only have so much pull and they're on the corners and the chassis flexes against the foam.

If sealing old grout, be sure it’s as clean as possible before resealing it. Otherwise, you’ll trap dirt and stains beneath the sealer. Most retailers are careful to provide lots of information so that you get the right size hob for the space you have in your kitchen. Fitting a Gas Hob Yourself

If the sealer leaves any hazy or white splotches on the tile, dampen a clean cloth with a bit of the grout sealer, and wipe the area until the blotch is gone. Now wipe the tile with a clean, dry cloth to remove any lingering residue. While the specifics can vary, as a general rule, grout sealer is dry enough to walk on within two or three hours of application. However, it can take up to 48 hours for the sealer to cure completely, so wait a couple of days before allowing heavy traffic on your newly sealed tile floor, taking a shower or bath in a freshly sealed tub, or putting your just-sealed countertops to heavy use. There are some simple guidelines to follow when it comes to where you shouldn’t place your gas hob:

A very common misconception is that if there is an existing gas fitting that just requires “connecting to” then you are allowed to do this, this is not true. You can fit a gas hob yourself, and it is a very satisfying job, if you take the time to do it right. You are not allowed to connect the hob to the gas unless you are Gas Safe registered, and it is worth engaging with your chosen engineer before you start so that you are familiar all the rules. A very common size is 600mm wide by 500mm deep. The size of the hole you will need to cut into your worktop will be smaller than the overall hob size. It must be noted here that although a DIY enthusiast, or even a carpenter is allowed to fit a gas hob into a worktop or base unit, they are not allowed to connect it to the gas. Please see our project on gas safety and DIY installations. Grout isn't only for the indoors; if you have an outdoor kitchen, counter, built-in fireplace or fire pit, or a tiled decorative trim, then you need a sealer that can keep the grout looking its best. For those situations, it's hard to go wrong with Serveon Sealants H2Seal All-Purpose Stone Sealer. This water-based, low VOC sealer dries clear, leaving your grout's color unchanged but providing excellent protection against damage from water—even saltwater—stains, and general grunge.
