Croydon & London · from £78 fixed labour
Oven repair
Built-in electric ovens from £78 and range cookers from £90 — fixed labour, VAT included, diagnosed in the visit, with any part priced for your approval before it is fitted.
An oven usually fails in a way you can name long before you know the cause: it never gets hot, it heats on one side, the fan screeches, the door won't shut, or the whole thing trips the fuse board the moment it comes on. Our engineers test element, fan motor, thermostat, door and controls in that order until the actual fault is found — no parts guessed at and swapped on your bill.
We repair built-in single and double ovens, freestanding cookers and wide range cookers, electric and dual-fuel. Croydon is our home patch and we cover London, Kent and Surrey from there, so most oven call-outs are booked for the same or next day.

Parts & costs
The fixed fee is labour — you approve any part
The call-out charge covers the visit, the diagnosis and the work carried out on it. Parts sit outside that fee.
Where a part is needed we give you its price and the expected total before anything is ordered or fitted. Nothing goes ahead without your approval, and returning to fit a part you have approved carries no extra labour charge.
Questions we get asked
How much does an oven repair cost?
£78 fixed labour for a built-in electric oven and £90 for a range cooker, both including VAT. That covers the visit, the diagnosis and the work done on that visit. Parts are separate: we quote the part and the expected total before anything is ordered, and nothing is fitted without your approval.
Is the price the same wherever I live?
Yes, apart from the London Congestion Charge zone. If your address is inside the zone the £18 charge is shown and added when you book, never afterwards. Croydon, Bromley, Sutton, Kingston and Surrey addresses are outside it.
Will the oven be fixed on the first visit?
Most are. Our engineers carry the parts ovens fail on most — fan and grill elements, thermostats, fan motors, hinges and seals. If a control board or a less common part is needed we quote it, order it and return to fit it with no extra labour charge.
Do you repair ovens that keep tripping the fuse board?
Yes, and it is usually worth investigating rather than replacing: a failed element or a damp fan motor can trip the circuit as soon as the oven is switched on. We isolate the circuit before testing and tell you what is causing it.
Do you work on gas ovens and dual-fuel ranges?
Yes — the electric oven side and, where a gas hob or oven is involved, gas work is carried out by an engineer competent to work on gas appliances, with ignition and safety devices tested on the same visit.
Are parts and labour guaranteed?
Yes. Parts and labour are covered for one year, and if a return visit is needed there is no extra labour charge.
