Rangemaster appliances in Bristol

William Flavel built the first Kitchener range in Royal Leamington Spa in 1830. The factory is still in the town, and the 90, 100 and 110cm cookers that most people buy are still made there.

The appeal is simple. A range cooker gives you more oven space and more burners than a standard 60cm model, in one freestanding unit that ends up being the centre of the kitchen. You can have gas, electric, induction, ceramic or dual fuel, in stainless steel or one of a long list of colours. Matching chimney hoods and splashbacks are made to the same widths.

Be realistic about the space. A 110cm cooker needs the width, the ventilation and, on gas models, the right supply. Our engineers check what your kitchen can take before anything is ordered.

If you cook occasionally and want everything hidden behind cabinet doors, a built-in oven and hob will suit you better. If you cook a lot, and often for several people, a Rangemaster earns the space it takes.
