If it's a straight swap you can do it yourself. If you need to increase the power rating of the circuit you may need to use an electrician.

When I changed my oven I had to have a new fuse box fitted to comply with the latest regulations.I think that you will need an electrician.

The first thing to establish is the power ating of your old appliances against the new. Until you do no-one can tell you. If you are unsure get a professional.

Our new cooker was delivered and fitted by the company from which we purchased it. They also took away the old one. The cost was £20 on top of the cooker price. Worth every penny as he checked the power circuit and made sure everything was correct and working before he left. It was a local independent firm. Some of the ones on the Internet wanted a lot more for this service.
