Electric cooker fitting and replacement

Electric cooker installation and replacement

Replacing a cooker or fitting one in a new kitchen? Tell us about the appliance, existing connection and property postcode. We will review the details and confirm whether the work can be assessed.

Every installation depends on the appliance and the electrical provision already at the property. Your quote should reflect the work required at your address.

Priority areas: London, Essex and Kent. Other locations are checked by postcode.

Start with what you know

Request a cooker installation quote

Include the full postcode, cooker make and model if known, and what connection is already there. If you are unsure, just say so.

Our team will be in touch as soon as possible to discuss your needs.

A quote based on the actual job

What affects an electric cooker installation?

The appliance alone does not show what work is needed. The existing connection, cooker instructions and access at the property all help determine the scope.

The cooker

The make and model, appliance instructions and whether this is a replacement or a first installation help describe the request.

The existing connection

Tell us what connection is available if you know. Its suitability must be checked; a new circuit or other electrical work is not automatically included.

The property and access

The full postcode, kitchen access and any parking or building restrictions help us assess whether a visit can be arranged.

No technical guesswork needed

What to include in your quote request

Send the information you have. If you do not know what connection is installed, say so. Do not remove covers or handle wiring to find out.

  • Property postcode and type
  • Cooker make and model, if known
  • Whether it is new or replacing an existing cooker
  • Existing connection details, if known
  • Access, parking or appointment restrictions
  • Photos taken safely without moving the cooker or exposing electrical parts

Safe, appropriate work

Qualified engineers for the work required

Electrical work should be assessed and carried out by someone with the competence needed for that task. The skill and knowledge required depend on the type and complexity of the work.

Upkeepone’s engineers are qualified and registered with NAPIT and NICEIC where applicable. The relevant engineer and registration scope depend on the work.

Read the HSE guidance on work on electrical equipment and installations.

Common questions

Electric cooker installation FAQs

Can an electrician install a replacement electric cooker?

It depends on the cooker and the electrical provision already at the property. Send the model and postcode so Upkeepone can review the details and confirm whether a suitably qualified engineer can take on the work.

Can you connect a cooker if there is no suitable connection?

The electrical arrangement and work required need to be assessed before the scope or price can be confirmed. A new circuit or other electrical work is not assumed to be included.

What information should I send for a cooker installation quote?

Send the postcode, cooker make and model if known, whether it is a replacement, details of the existing connection if known, and any access restrictions. Do not remove covers or handle wiring to take photographs.

Which areas do you cover?

London, Essex and Kent are priority areas. Hertfordshire, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Sussex are also covered. Other UK areas may be considered by request, subject to postcode, installation, access, travel and appropriately qualified engineer availability.

Can you install a gas cooker?

This page is for electric cookers. Please use the separate gas cooker installation service page for a gas appliance; the right engineer and scope must be confirmed for that job.
