Installation guide | Blake & Bull Reimagined Aga Range Cookers

Quite some information is below, but if you have a question we haven't answered do get in touch anytime. E-mail hello@blakeandbull.co.uk or call 01225 541006. Thanks. 

Delivery requirements

• Blake & Bull reconditioned cookers are built on-site so awkward locations can be accessed without issue in most circumstances. We'll be in touch with specific questions after purchase. We will need to know if you have steps, narrow walkways, restricted parking or suchlike.

Please note that these dimensions are for the total foot print of the Aga, and the towel rail will protrude past these dimensions by around 90mm.

In most cases we build our remanufactured Aga range cookers onto a 50mm deep plinth giving a 'final' hob height of 901mm. We can alternatively fit 60 or 80mm plinths if extra height is required, please see below! You will need to make your choice no later than 6 weeks before installation to ensure stock availability. Bespoke sizes are possible at extra cost with an approximate 10 week lead time. 

Clearances

• A additional 3-4mm gap must be allowed for either side of the cooker between hob top and worktops. This allows for thermal expansion and future access. This is additional to the dimensions specified above.

• Tiles should run behind or down the side the cooker and not sit on the hob top. It's easy removal allows for future maintenance. You may want to tile before the installation day, mounting a 10mm baton lower than the cooker top height, and tiling/fitting splash back to that. 

• If the cooker is going into an island then please be aware that the central shroud (the black 'box' between the two hotplates!) will be higher than the hob. In this case we would recommend that you have a small up-stand or shelf behind it to hide the rear of the shroud.

• There must be 10mm between the back plate of the cooker and the wall behind. This is increased to 25mm if the wall behind is made of combustible materials. This is increased to 28mm if the vent pipe (see below) runs behind the cooker at all rather that exiting directly behind it. 

• You'll want at least 1000mm in front of the cooker, if you plan a kitchen island for example, to allow for ease of use and servicing. A little more than that will increase comfort with big tins etc!

Flooring and plinth

• The supplied plinth will sit happily on the subfloor or final floor, you just need to remember the height implications relative to the worktop if we are building on the subfloor! Almost all flooring types are suitable.

• Aga range cookers need a solid or weight bearing level floor capable of supporting the above weights and additional cooking dishes etc that may be within {add around 33% to weight to allow for plinth and pans etc}

Venting

We strongly recommend room venting. This is the best solution for fuel economy, lower installation costs, and oven performance. Choosing to vent externally or via your an flue may involve additional costs.
