Ordered a new washing machine, and new electric hob and oven set from ao the day we got back to London after the Xmas hols. Nothing fancy, just the cheapest energy efficient stuff to tide us over for another 6 to 12 months til we sell the house.
Scheduled them to be delivered and fitted while i was away assuming it'd be a simple like for like replacement. They fitted the washing machine no problem but the engineer told my wife the kitchen cabinets had to be removed so they could access the wall box to wire them in, and took the new appliances back while we decided what to do.
I rang my old man when i got back from my work trip to ask his advice and he said the new appliances never come with cables, and that the wires stay in the wall and are wired at the appliance side. I pulled out my oven and sure enough there was a little access flap with screw terminals behind it.
New oven and hob re delivered today, no sign of new cables, 10 mins with a screwdriver and they're in and working perfectly.
I'm a little surprised a supposedly trained electrician couldn't do that...
