Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• Do you have experience with my oven make and model and can you show examples
• Do you charge a call‑out fee and how are labour and parts billed
• Will you isolate the electrical supply and do you need access to the consumer unit
• What warranty do you provide on parts and labour and who supplies replacement parts
• Are you insured for appliance repair and can you provide a written estimate before starting work
How to Avoid Surprises
• Empty the oven and surrounding cupboards so the engineer can work unhindered
• Ensure a parking space near the property and tell the tradie about any access restrictions
• Send make, model and photos in advance so the engineer can bring likely spare parts
• Confirm you can switch off the circuit at the consumer unit if isolation is needed
• Secure pets and keep children away from the work area
• Check communal building rules if access, parking or lifts will be used for tools or parts
