We currently have an old gas oven that is on the blink. Her indoors
wants an electric one to replace it.

Thanks for you replies everybody. Perhaps I will persuade her to stay
gas.

I'd be inclined to switch (!) to an electric oven. Keep the gas hob. If
it's a free-standing gas cooker, yes, replace it with another gas one!



But I gathered I would need a big wiring job to have an electric one. If
it needs to be on its own circuit is it worth it?

What a load of confusing advice. The only deciding factor is the wattage.
Without knowing that it is just guessing. Another useful advice is to look
at the consumer unit to see if there is a cooker circuit. Some people have a
cooker outlet replaced with a twin 13amp outlet if they have a gas cooker.
