Cooking appliances
Before you order, check:
Connections
- Ensure there is an electric and/or gas supply within 1m of the installation location. If moving from electric to gas, check that the gas supply has been prepared.
- Ensure there is the correct amp power supply for your new appliance.
- Check the cooker isolation switch is accessible.
Dimensions
- Ensure product dimensions fit in the chosen location.
- For integrated or semi-integrated installations, make sure your kitchen units are able to house the new appliance - we do not offer carpentry work to modify units.
- If you're having a hob installed, check it will fit in the space allocated - we can only make minor alterations to extend holes in wooden worktops.
- For a hob or cooker, check the space around the heat source is in line with the recommended dimensions. As a general guide the hood should be 50cm above an electric hob or 65cm for a gas hob. The side and rear space required around a hob is generally 5cm.
Before the engineer arrives:
- Remove any flammable materials from behind the heat source, for example wall paper or formica.
- For disposal, if you aren't using our installation service, please disconnect your current appliance from the electricity/gas supplies.
Exclusions
- Installation, disposal and recycling services aren't available if you select next day delivery for your appliance.
- If the product is coming directly from a supplier, installation isn’t always offered online. However, you can check if the service is available by calling 0345 017 0803 to purchase.
- Not all suppliers offer disposal for range cookers, and this will usually be like for like; so if you're buying a conventional cooker, we won't be able to offer disposal of your old range cooker
*Additional information:
- If you're in flat or shared home, the product must have a flame failure safety device (information available when purchasing the appliance).
- If you have a conservatory to the rear of your kitchen, this must have an air brick in the wall or additional ventilation.
- Our installation team will have to temporarily interrupt your gas supply to allow a safe installation, so we'll endeavour to restart any gas appliances in your home. However, we're not responsible for any appliance that fails to restart, including central heating and gas boilers.
- We are unable to offer installation to certain postcodes – see coverage areas.
- Our installation and disposal services are subject to availability.
- We reserve the right to refuse to collect any item we believe constitutes a health and safety risk to our employees, or anyone working on our behalf.
We'll take care of the heavy lifting for you and dispose of the old appliance responsibly
