Safety
Your wiring needs to be right for your cooker
Electric cookers and hobs use a lot of power. The wiring and fuse box need to be up to the job before anything gets connected.
What Harry checks
The wiring, fuse protection, cable condition, cooker switch and earthing all need to be in good shape before a cooker can be safely connected.
If there's a problem with your wiring
If something isn't safe, Harry won't connect the cooker. He'll explain clearly what the problem is and what would need to be sorted first.
Working to current standards
All work is carried out to current UK wiring regulations. If anything comes up that needs extra sign-off or certification, Harry will discuss it with you before going ahead.
- A photo of the rating plate (usually on the back or inside the door of the appliance).
- A photo of the cooker connection point (where the cooker wires in).
- A photo of the cooker switch on the wall.
- A photo of your fuse box, if you can get to it easily.
- Your postcode.
- Whether this is a replacement, new appliance or disconnection.
Before the visit
Photos help with a quicker estimate

FAQ
Common questions
Can you connect my new cooker?
Usually yes — as long as the existing wiring, fuse protection and earthing are suitable for your new cooker.
What if there's a problem with my wiring?
The cooker won't be connected until it's sorted. Harry will explain exactly what the issue is and what would need to be done to fix it.
Do I need to supply the cooker cable?
Some cookers don't come with a connection cable. Send the model or a photo of the rating plate and Harry can check before the visit.
Can you disconnect my old cooker?
Yes — Harry can disconnect your old cooker safely before a new one goes in, as long as there's reasonable access.
Do you install gas cookers?
No — this service is for electric cookers, ovens and hobs only. For gas, you'd need a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Can you install induction hobs?
Yes, in most cases. Induction hobs can draw a lot of power so the wiring needs to be up to it. Send the make and model if you're not sure.
How much does it cost?
From £79 for a straightforward job. The final price depends on travel, access, and whether any extra wiring work is needed. Harry will always let you know if it's likely to be more before starting.
What areas do you cover?
Cornwall, especially West Cornwall, including Hayle, Camborne, Redruth, St Ives, Penzance, Truro, Falmouth, Helston and nearby areas.
