My fitted oven is on the blink, I'm thinking about buying a new one, who would I call apart from the gas board

Question

to come out and install it for us? It just looks like a big job as there are benches and cupboards surrounding it. I would ideally like a freestanding oven/cooker but I'm not sure as to what to do....could someone please give me a little advice on this one?

Answer 1

HI KT - firstly I think it depends on whether it is a gas oven or electric oven?

If it is gas then yes you MUST get a registered CORGI engineer to install it - look in local phone book.

If it is electric then you SHOULD get a qualified electrician to install it - again look in local phone book.

Actually replacing a fitted oven is very easy - typically there are just a few screws holding the old one in place. If it is a floor level oven then you probably need to pull the skirting board along the bottom of the kitchen units off first - this is normally just clipped on by plastic clips.

If it is eye level oven then there it is easier but obviously ovens are heavy so care needs to be taken when pulling the old one out.

I am not sure why you would want to change from a fitted to freestanding? But you have to consider the space... typically a fitted with cupboards either side there is just enough space for the oven as the oven is insulated to stop the cupboards getting hot. With a freestanding you may find you have to leave a gap either side for air to get around the oven. This may mean the gap you have is no longer big enough?

Best thing to do is meausre the gap where your oven is now, then go down to Comet or Dixons or simliar and ask one of the people in there.

Answer 2

it's not a big job really. any plumber who is corgi registered can fit it for you. the old one will just come out of the cupboard it is in and a new one will just slot in place.

fitted look better and so when you sell your house affects the value. i got my oven and hob from b and q. it cost about £150 in total.

Answer 3

Depends on where you buy your new oven - many stores will offer you the opportunity to fit it for them. Best thing to do is to find the one you want and then go from there. If the service is not offered do ensure that you get someone who is registered to fit it properly for you.

Answer 4

it rather is a uncommon occurence, as I frequently hear to CDs till now procuring them, in spite of the fact that it does ensue in some circumstances with bands whose previous CDs I enjoyed. Avenged Sevenfold's new CD replaced into one. i like their older stuff, so i concept the hot you would be stable. Boy, replaced into I incorrect! i replaced into so pissed off on the band for recording certainly one of those shite album, I offered it back interior 2 hours. Strapping youthful Lad is yet another. lower back, I dig their older stuff, so i concept i could like the latest, "the hot Black." It replaced into so undesirable, i could extremely scrape my gums with a rusty screwdriver than ought to take heed to it lower back! it rather is a sort of albums this is such an unintelligible mess that evidently as though it rather is basically a great F-You to the followers.
