Got an old cooker to get rid of? We make it simple. Scrap My Appliance collects gas cookers, electric cookers, range cookers, integrated ovens, and freestanding hobs from homes and businesses across the UK. Our uniformed two-person teams remove the appliance from your kitchen — including upstairs, tight hallways, and basements — without you lifting a finger. We cover domestic properties, rental homes, hotels, restaurants, schools, and commercial premises. Same-day and next-day slots are available in most areas. Every cooker is recycled responsibly under UK WEEE Regulations. Working appliances go to our charity network. Non-working appliances go to a licensed recycling facility — nothing to landfill.
Before we collect your gas cooker, the gas supply must be disconnected by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This is a legal requirement under UK Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 — it is not optional. The disconnection typically costs £40–£80 and takes around 30 minutes. Once the supply is capped, our team can collect the cooker on the same day or the next day. We work alongside Gas Safe engineers regularly — ask us when booking and we can recommend a local engineer in your area.
Electric freestanding cookers are the simplest to remove. Most use a standard 13 amp plug — simply unplug before our team arrives. Hardwired models (45 amp) require a qualified Part P electrician to disconnect them safely. Once disconnected, we handle all the heavy lifting. Electric cookers typically weigh 30–50 kg, so please do not attempt to move them yourself before we arrive.
Built-in and integrated ovens are fitted inside kitchen units. Before removal, the oven needs to be extracted from its housing — this involves removing the cabinet door panel and unscrewing the securing brackets. Our teams carry out integrated oven removal regularly. Let us know it is integrated when you book so we bring the right tools. Once removed from the unit, the oven is disposed of identically to a freestanding model.
Range cookers — including AGA, Rangemaster, Falcon, Smeg, and Belling — are significantly heavier than standard models. Many weigh 80–150 kg. Council bulky waste services will not collect them. Most skip hire companies refuse them too. We have the equipment and team size to remove range cookers safely from any location. Call us on 0800 599 9003 for an accurate quote before booking.
Yes — this is a legal requirement. Under the UK Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, a Gas Safe registered engineer must disconnect any gas cooker connected to a fixed supply before it can be moved or collected. Do not attempt to disconnect a gas cooker yourself. The disconnection typically costs £40–£80. Once done, we can collect the same day or next day.
Our prices start from £45 for a standard electric freestanding cooker. Range cookers start from £75 due to their size and weight. Gas cookers require a separate Gas Safe engineer disconnection (£40–£80) before we collect. All prices are fixed upfront with no hidden fees.
