Typical totals, including the visit, labour, the part and VAT. How our prices work
In Great Britain, the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 say anyone working on gas appliances as part of a business must belong to a class of persons approved by the Health and Safety Executive, which in practice means the Gas Safe Register. Mendlow is not on that register and does no gas work. In England, adding a new circuit, such as a new supply for a cooker, is notifiable electrical work under Part P of the Building Regulations. Mendlow repairs appliances and does not install circuits.

Three steps for this repair
1Electric or gas?
Check the appliance is electric. We do not work on gas cookers or hobs, and we will say so when you call rather than waste a visit.
2Power off, panels off
The engineer isolates the oven at its switch, then tests the elements, fan and thermostat with the back panel removed.
3Heat checked
After a repair the oven runs up to temperature with a thermometer inside, so you know it bakes where the dial says.
Questions
Electric ovens and hobs: common questions
Our 12-month guarantee covers the part we fit and our work fitting it, from the day of the repair. It does not cover a different fault, damage from misuse or an accident, or parts you supplied yourself. You get the full terms with the written price, before you accept the repair, and it adds to your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, not instead of them.
My oven trips the electrics. Is it safe to keep resetting it?
No. Leave the oven switched off at its cooker switch and arrange a visit. A failed element is the usual cause, but the wiring should be checked before the oven is used again.
Can you move my oven or fit a new cooker point?
No. We repair appliances and do not install circuits. A new circuit for a cooker is notifiable electrical work under Part P of the Building Regulations in England, which needs a registered electrician or building control.
