Thanks John. Will get the electrician to assess. I think 3 pages is long enough for this forum. Thanks for all the advice. Now off to the plumbing section.

Thanks.. I will be speaking to the electrician regarding this. Hoping he will be able to resolve this for me ( I know i have been wrong about the power rating but the electrician had a look at the appliances himself) If i wanted to do it myself instead of waiting for the electrician to free...

Apologies all for the misinformation, 2.6kw is correct, not sure where I saw 2.3. If this is the case, what would be the way to resolve this as you state that 13 amp socket is no longer acceptable. Would I therefore just use a 40 amp cooker switch wired to a cooker connector, would I need 2 then?

Thanks John. Yes I thought it was strange to have so many fuses. Would this work - connect the oven and hob to the circuit intended for just the hob as this has a isolation switch already at 40a and then convert the socket to a oven connection for just the one, that way the existing fcu with...

Wow guess there are many ways to do this and its a personal preference ( as long as its safe) Maybe posting images wont be a bad idea, i'll try get some next time im down at the house. Ok say i use a cooker outlet instead of the dual socket, I assume i would require the dual cooker outlet...

Thanks all for the advice. Have not had the oven blow up on me yet as its brand new and still not installed. I just wanted to get some advice before I get the kitchen units put in as i wasnt too sure, the ovens says hard wired but it seems the setup I have means i am plugin them in with...

Hi I have search the forum and have found information regarding 13 amp ovens but not 2. I wanted to clarify something to make sure that my electrician is correct. We had an existing 6mm cable which connected to 1 electric oven. This oven has been pulled out and we have replaced it with 2...
