Gas cooker installation charges

Fazza

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and hope I have found the right area to post a question. My gas cooker recently broke down and the cost of repair is far too high and I have decided to go for a new gas cooker instead. My question is, when it comes to installation, I am finding the charges are very high, are there any companies out there that offer free installation or a minimal charge when buying a new cooker?

For example, one of the top companies were charging £85 installation on top of the cost of the cooker itself which is very pricey indeed.

Any help is greatly appreciated

oh, and it will be a freestanding gas cooker Im after installing, not a fully built in one if it helps

A local Gas safe fitter should charge you no more than £50. Where in Essex are you? Someone on here may be able to recommend someone.
