Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• Are you registered with a competent person scheme (NICEIC/NAPIT) and insured?
• Will the job require a new dedicated 32A–40A circuit or any consumer unit upgrades?
• Do you supply the oven and parts or are you fitting a customer‑supplied appliance?
• What guarantee do you provide on labour and on the electrical work?
• Will you provide an electrical safety certificate or report on completion?
• Is old appliance disposal included and are there any access or parking requirements?
How to Avoid Surprises
• Measure the cavity and have the oven spec to hand for the visit
• Ensure meter access and a clear route for cables and the engineer
• Reserve parking close to the property and mention any loading restrictions for flats
• Secure pets and protect floors and work surfaces with dust sheets
• Check if building manager or freeholder permission is needed for leasehold flats
• Confirm whether old appliance disposal and any extra parts are included before work starts
