Who fixes ovens?
What type of tradesman do I need to call to fix an oven? Is this something any electrician can handle or do I need to find a specialist somehow?

"An appliance engineer would be your best bet.
But depending on the issue, for example an element replacement, your electrician could handle that."

"Depends; if it’s the oven itself or something else. If it’s the oven itself then a specialist. It not then an electrician. What is the problem?"

"it depends on what’s wrong with the oven, but in many cases you’ll want an appliance repair specialist, not just any electrician."

"For most oven faults you would normally call a domestic appliance engineer rather than a general electrician.
An appliance engineer specialises in cookers, ovens, hobs, washing machines, etc., and can diagnose and replace internal components such as heating elements, thermostats, fans, and control boards.
An electrician is the right person if the issue is with the supply (for example, tripping circuits, damaged cables, faulty cooker switches, or a new connection). But if the oven has power and simply isn’t heating or working correctly, a specialist appliance repair engineer is usually quicker and more cost-effective.
In short:
No power / electrical fault → Electrician
Oven powers up but doesn’t work properly → Appliance repair engineer"
