Id agree, faulty cooker maybe damaged? Allowed to replace faulty equipment, or as ip says like for like, thats what I would say.

Agree with like for like swap. No alteration to fixed wiring, its an appliance

i always replace the cable when doing installs, cookers clock was ber on part obsolete so replaced with new one

If you look into it you actually have around a 7 year guarantee, it to stop companies using cheep parts and items failing after 12 months, just tell them that its not fit for the purpose it is intended for!

I had a part go on my dishwasher after 11 months, they came to fix it, but by the time the job was done it was out of it 12 months guarantee, visit to identify part, then 2 weeks for them to get it and another week for they came to fit it.

Then guess what 4 weeks later the same part went again, rang them back and they said it was out of guarantee, argued the point that it was the same part they had fixed previously and that the parts should have a guarantee on them and they finally agreed to fix it, but still took another 4 weeks.

£5 part and made sure i watched what he did, if it goes again i will fix it myself!

well they told me to get independant report and send it to them, but anyone i asked just wanted to fix it and not get involved,,, they are crafty, they soon took the £600 for tin and muc

Ask curry's or Comet, if they send part p installers but then again they do try there hardest to get out of installing the items that people pay to have connected!

From Part P guidance
"The fitting and replacement of cookers and electric showers is not notifiable unless a new circuit is needed."

Therefore you do not need to "be Part P" to install a cooker, your customer is incorrect.
