How can I prepare for the delivery & installation?

Due to the size and weight of your new cooker, it is essential that it can be conveyed into your home in a safe and effective manner. It is always best to try and plan an unobstructed and clear route into the area in which the cooker will eventually be installed.

For safety’s sake, we would always recommend that small children and pets are excluded from the immediate delivery and installation areas.

What can I expect from the delivery crew?

Dependant upon your supplier, the delivery crew may unpack and assemble the cooker and place it in your selected position; they may also disconnect and remove your old appliance but beware, this is the exception rather than the rule.

It is always worth asking the supplier exactly what the delivery includes.

What if I ask the delivery crew to leave the cooker in a different room?

If the delivery crew are requested to leave the cooker boxed, or in another room, the installing engineer may need physical assistance from a third party to move and assemble it. It is unlikely that the installing engineer will be able to relocate the cooker to another room on his own.

Will the installers make any necessary modifications to gas and electrical supplies?

The majority of suppliers will only connect to gas and electric supplies that are pre-prepared and fully operational in a pre-cleared area. Some companies may undertake additional gas and electrical work but this usually incurs an extra charge payable directly to the engineer, at the time of installation.

We are pleased to advise that The BIG COOKER Repair Company is happy to modify gas pipework (Natural or LPG), or electrical supplies, to suit the majority of installation requirements at competitive rates.

Are there any requirements for the installation area itself?

The installation location should be as level as possible to allow access for engineers’ jacks, used when moving or levelling large cookers.

Please be aware that many of today’s floor coverings are easily damaged.

The BIG COOKER Repair Company’s engineers will check the area and warn you of any potential risks to floor coverings or cabinets. If a potential problem is found, they will only proceed after advising you of the risk.

 

Do I need to be at home during the installation?

If you are unlikely to be at home when the cooker is installed and electrical and gas shut-off points are not readily visible, please ensure that someone is available who knows where the appropriate meters, taps and switches are located in the house.

On a point of safety, it is always best if someone is at home during the entire installation in case an accident occurs or there is an unforeseen difficulty.
