Removal of hard-wired cooker
Discussion
Hi Chaps
I have sold a flat and I need to remove the electric cooker.
How would I go about this, have a look at the pictures.
Do I isolate main power supply and remove switch cover. Will the thick power cable run directly from the fused switch to the cooker meaning the whole cable can be pulled out?
Many thanks

Hi MateThanks for the reply.
To be honest I do not have terminal blocks with me plus the new owners are putting a gas oven in.
The gas connection is already ready.
Hence I need the cable gone.
Many thanks
Hi Chaps
The job is jobbed!
Knocked of the power for the cooker at the consumer panel.
Removed the switch/socket, un-did the 3 wires and pulled the cable down and out from the bottom.
With regard to the new owners. I know they are installing a double range master gas cooker.
If they require the electirc it will be an easy job tbh to feed a wire back down the same hole from the socket.
It is part of the contract for me to remove and dispose of the cooker. I would not want to leave a cable hanging.
Many thanks!

IANAE but what's to stop the OP from replacing the circuit breaker at the other end with a 15A one?
HiThanks for your input but the job has now been completed.
The new owners are having a double range gas cooker installed.
If they require power there is a double socket 2 foot further along the wall so it will not be an issue.
Thanks to all who have contributed.
