Replacing a built in oven

A question about : Replacing a built in oven

I have never replaced a built in oven before and thought it would be as simple as chosing any built in single oven of my liking.

However, I am now so confused. I thought they would come as a standard size for a single oven, but having a look online and they seem to come in various sizes.

My current model size is H595xW596xD524. I cant seem to find that matches especially the depth. Looking on a.o.com, the depth range from 540mm upwards. I am worried about buying one that doesnt fit or is not flush.

My second worry is that I would want to pay for it to be installed for me. However, a.o offers installation but not disconnection?
Do I need to pay a electrician to disconnect and take out the old one first? I would not know how to do this myself and would be a bit too scared to do this.

Best answers:

• You wouldn't have to worry about depth if the new oven you chose was shallower than your current one.
  When mine was replaced, although the depth measurements should have been fine, it turned out a little gas pipe from my hob stopped the oven going in quite far enough. The electrician who fitted it for me found a couple of spacers in his van which which did the job (it was only about 5 mm).
  The electrician took out the old oven & fitted the new one straight away. You're not supposed to do your own kitchen or bathroom electrics these days.
• So I can chose any single oven and not worry about the size?
  The depth of my current oven seems small (525mm) compared to ones I was looking at. I cant find any size smaller, they are all bigger?

• The important thing is the depth of the hole, your old oven was 524 deep but how deep is the hole it goes in? Unfortunately you'll need to remove the old one to find out. Do you know a friend who will pull it out, onto a workmate or similar, measure the hole, then pop it back in until you get a new one? It's a bit heavy but it's not difficult.
• Moffat do ovens in a range of sizes and used to do smaller ones. A search may come with something in a suitable size.
