However if you want to see some actual prices people have paid (or been quoted) for the job, take a look at this Mumsnet thread from 2015:

Not long ago I had a new electric cooker connected and, apart from connecting the cooker,new regulations required a separate fuse box, not so quite a simple job.Also if an electrical job is done by someone other than a qualified electrician the job must be inspected by the said qualified electrician. A NAPIT Certificate is required.

Only if a new circuit is required. It's perfectly legal to change a socket, ceiling rose or light switch on your own, as it is to wire in a cooker to an existing circuit (or, more accurately, spur).

I agree, Danny, but the question isn't about 'wiring' a cooker but 'connecting' one.
I'm assuming (and I'll bet that Argos are, given the price they've quoted) that the fuse box and its associated wiring are already in place, meaning that the cooker simply needs to be connected to the existing power point on the kitchen wall.

Some here Jack, but not cheap.
