Electric oven and cooker repairs in Reading: Homeowners vs renters

For homeowners:

You’re usually responsible for arranging and paying for repairs. Keep your appliance manuals, warranties, and receipts to hand - and always use a qualified repair specialist to avoid voiding guarantees.

For renters:

If the oven or cooker came with the property, your landlord is typically responsible for repairs (unless you caused the damage). Report the issue promptly, in writing if possible, and include photos. The landlord may arrange their own repair person, or approve you to book one and claim back the cost.
