Gas oven

Ovens don't actually use much, typically they are 2.3Kw and often do come with just a 13A plug.  But the thorn in the side is fixed heating appliances over 2KW are supposed to be on a dedicated circuit.

I guess an induction hob equally draws little current. Are most electricians qualified to cap the gas so a swap to electric can be made ?

Induction hobs usually draw a LOT more than an oven.

 

An electrician is not qualified to cap off a gas supply unless he is also gas safe registered.

To do this properly, contact the gas company and specify who you need to call for your work. Let 3 qualified specialists do it better. I saw a gas explosion indoors, believe me, you don't want it.

Switching to electricity is a good step! Electric stoves and sockets are standard, but check with a consultant or electrician to find out which sockets will work. Every rule has an exception, so it's better to ask specialists than to overpay later.
