Need help in wiring up my kitchen. Have just moved in and ripped out the entire kitchen and WAS about to wire up the Single oven (3.5KW), when I noticed that the wall terminals were fed by 2.5mm standard ring main flex. This ring main also feeds a number of other appliances, fridge. dish washer, waste disposal, tumble drier, washing machine and Gas central heating. The circuit has a 32A MCB. Does it sound feasible for the Oven to be added onto this circuit given the flex suppliying it. There is also another 32A Cooker circuit, but this is dedicated to the 6.2KW Hob. Any ideas. Need help fast as this has now stalled the instalation of the kitchen

No - but it's nothing to do with the rest of the loading.
3.5kW is 15.22A, which is too much for either a socket outlet or an FCU, and that's all that should be on a ring circuit.
What's the 32A cooker circuit wired with? If you put the oven on that as well, would they both be within 2m of the isolation switch? Standard diversity calcs for a 9.7kW cooking appliance come to a load of 20A..
But mainly, if the kitchen is ripped apart, could you not swiftly install a 2.5mm² or 4mm² circuit for it?
