Removing free standing cooker.

Question

I am clearing a house ready for sale. Is it necessary to engage an electrician to disconnect the cooker at the socket or can I do this having switched off the circuit at the circuit board?

Samuel · Answer

If the stove is electric, a professional is required to disconnect and test the network before disconnecting and leaving it safely for the next resident.

Paul James · Answer

This should be done by a competent electrician 
If the polarity is reversed it may still be live and shock risk is present 

Always instruct a qualified electrician

Hi 

We would always advise getting a qualified electrician to do electrical work just in case.

You can but you need to guarantee the fixed wiring is still secure after you’ve disconnected something. An electrician would be best and only charge you an hour of their time.

If you're competent and understand basic electrics then there's no need to employ an electrician.  Cut the electrics off by the main trip switch on the right hand side, and disconnect the cooker cables on the double pole switch and make sure you replace the switch cover before reinstating the electrical supply

Adam · Answer

If you are competent in how to disconnect the wiring safely and more importantly, re-connect the cooker outlet safe for the next use then yes. Power off at the circuit board and then disconnect cooker. DO NOT cut the cable or leave exposed when done. If you have any doubts whatsoever please call an electrician. thanks

No, you don’t need to disconnect anything no matter if you disconnect all you need to do is to give the electrical installation condition report certificate to the client if is more than 5 years old than before to sale the house you need to do an electrical inspection.
