Hello. I'm looking into how to install my new electric cooker, but I'm a novice so could really use some help. I'm hoping that it's just a matter of wiring the cooker to the terminal outlet already installed in my kitchen (with all of the electrics turned off at the mains, of course), but I know it's not always as simple as that because there's the consumer unit, wire thickness, etc to think about as well.
So I was hoping if I post up all the details I've got so that I could get some advice on how to proceed. The cooker has a total load rating of 12.6kW (although I suppose this is only if every hob and both ovens are on at max power at the same time). It's this cooker:

I will have to buy the cooker wire to connect it to the terminal outlet, but the wire leading to the consumer unit is 6mm. Here's some pictures of the CU for the other necessary details:
So am I good to go, or am I looking at a major PITA installation involving ripping cable out my walls
