Does anyone have an approx idea on the likely price of this please?

[akapt]

I don't want to do it myself because I have been known to blow up an air fryer just by plugging it in so don't fancy my chances!

I have an electric cooker that is hard wired into the kitchen wall. Someone told me ao do collections of white goods so I was just going to book them to take it away but saw on their website they can't do it if it's hard wired.

I'm moving in a few weeks so need the cooker gone.

How much approx would an electrician charge to do it? Going to start looking around for some quotes later but I'm at work atm so just trying to get a general idea from anyone that has had this done.

thanks

Can you post a picture of the wall socket??? If its like mine we undid ourselves x

Are you asking how to remove the hard wired appliance from the wall and to have it replaced with a socket there for the new one? If so I had this done 10 years ago and it cost me 75 pounds to get the socket put in ! It is a relatively simple job for someone who knows what they are doing - switch off power, get screwdriver out but like yourself I was afraid to. I didn't realise mine was hard wired until the day the delivery guy pulled the old machine out and he did disconnect it although he said they are not supposed to. 75 quid to get a new socket 😬

I would say under £100 - closer to £50.

I had an electrician swap an outside light for a new one and he charged £35. Took him 5 minutes but I’m happy to pay for his skill.

Out of curiosity why do you need to remove the cooker OP.?
I've moved a few times and always left cookers and washing machines and fridges in situ. And the new owners can do what they want with them.

Wondering this too

and I'd guess about £150 or more if they are also taking it to the tip. I'm still on London prices though.

It's broke and has been for about six months, I have been using microwave/panini maker/ etc to keep me going as I knew I was going to be moving. It's housing association so I can't leave anything behind, I just need it disconnected then I can get it outside for the council to take in a bulky waste collection.

Oh that's pretty harsh policy by the housing association.
My next door neighbour died tragically a couple of years ago. Hers was a local authority house. Her family just took a few personal possessions away and then the local authority sent in a team and just stripped the whole property. I talked to the men and that apparently was the norm: when a tenancy ended there was no onus on the former tenant to clear the place, the local authority just cleared everything and made it ready for the next tenant.

@Dawnchorussinging that's only because the poor chap died.

Well it was a woman actually. And according to the workmen this was what happened routinely, not just when there was a death.
But you could be right.
I know I benefited though because he gave me some of her gardening equipment and planters. And he was ringing round his friends offering them things like her lawn mower and one or two other things. It was very sad and I felt a bit bad about taking her things but they would have been dumped at the tip or given to someone else if I hadn't. And at least I remember her when I see her planters. She died of alcohol related illness in her 50s. Very tragic.

You can only leave by agreement with the buyers. If you leave things they don't want and haven't agreed to be left, they can charge you for disposal.

Well obviously when I've moved it's all been discussed at the viewing and confirmed through solicitors what items were being left as included in the sale and what was being taken.
I wouldn't just dump stuff on the new owner. It's just I've never experienced a sale where the buyer has not wanted the appliances left. Which was why I was a bit surprised that OP was having to remove the cooker. But after her explanation I understand why.
