Replacing cooker
Rapished
Posts: 174 Forumite
Just about to buy a new house, there taking the cooker on with them, so will need to purchase a replacement,
Is it a case of buying one, then having a gas safe engineer to plumb it in? Does this need to be done is its an electric one to?

Negotiating a price to leave the existing 1 in situ wouold be your best bet imho, it must be decent or why would they want to take it away, :money:rememberI like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

That it I looked it over when I viewed the 3 times, and its crap, so there welcome to it, but its just a case of the last house we had came with one, this one wont, so unfamiliar with the process to get the next one hooked up.0

If its a gas cooker they;re taking with them, make sure that the gas is properly capped off.
I'd recommend an electric replacement. Much more controllable.We’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

well if it is that bad you are probably best if they take it.
It should be connected by a bayonet fixing, the attachment pipe or hose simply twists out. They won't bother capping it and they will take the pipe with it if they are so tight, so if you go for gas you will need the pipe.
If you do go electric, which to me is best for the oven but inferior for the hob, you do need to have it capped safely if the bayonet fitting won't be used.
They can and do leak and will likely fill with crap anyway.;)I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

If there is no cooker point installed then you wil need an electrician to fit one if you want to replace with an electric cooker. This may require a new dedicated circuit to be run from the CU-not just a connection to the kitchen ring main.No free lunch, and no free laptop

If you have an existing gas point it should not be too much hassle , if there is a gas fire fitted in house good idea to have a Gas safety inspection done (Better safe than sorry ) about £75, don't forget the Carbon Monoxide monitor. :beer:There are more questions than answers :shhh: :silenced:WARNING ! May go silent for unfriendly repliesPlease excuse me Spell it MOST times
