Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• assess the hob model and condition of the broken glass and controls

• confirm safe power isolation and check electrical connections for damage

• remove the damaged glass top and inspect the supporting frame and controls

• fit a like-for-like replacement glass panel or full glass hob top with seals and fixings

• restore electrical connections, test induction zones and controls for correct operation

• clear and clean the work area, safely bag and remove broken glass and provide part warranty details

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most straight glass-only replacements take 1–2 hours on site including testing and cleanup; restricted access, integrated worktops, a back-ordered bespoke glass or discovered electrical faults can extend the job to a half day or require a return visit

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• do you supply the replacement glass or should i provide the exact make and model

• what parts and labour warranty do you offer and how long does coverage last

• are you qualified to isolate and test the electrical supply and will you issue a certificate if needed

• how long will you need on site and what could trigger extra charges or a return visit

• do you remove and dispose of broken glass and is there an extra disposal charge

• if my hob requires a control board or bespoke glass, how long is the lead time and can you provide a written estimate

How to Avoid Surprises

• send make/model and clear photos of the hob before the visit so the tradie brings the right part

• clear the area under and around the hob and remove crockery or fragile items

• check parking, access and building or management restrictions for working hours and waste removal

• tell the tradie about any tight cut-outs, island hobs or glued seals that may need extra work

• ask in advance about lead times for bespoke glass or control boards to avoid repeat visits
