    Extractor Hood - cable tidy?

    A possibility but if you go this route you need to put 13a fuse in the inaccessable plug and 3a fuse in the fcu!

    Qualified electrician or can you DIY ?

    Pretty sure you can diy as long as the new one is the same kw. If It's an old shower the new one will almost certainly be a lot more powerful and could likely require upgrading the feed cable. Notifiable I'm afraid!

    Electrical spur extension

    Interpretation!!! Personally I understand the reg to mean that any circuit must only have one point of disconnection (Fuse/mcb etc), and NOT.... as I've often come across a ring with a 15 a fuse at each end, ie TWO points of disconnection

    Electrical spur extension

    Yes you can as long as you connect it to a suitable fuse/breaker, not a dedicated circuit for shower/cooker etc. This will be notifiable to lbc as adding new circuit.

    FITTING A FUSED SPUR IN A LOFT

    It is OK but fit a switched fused spur rather than a socket, so no-one can plug a drill or something else that could take out the mcb/fuse

    Single Oven (2.8Kw)

    If you already have a cooker cu you can change the flex outlet to a socket, or put a socket on the 6mm cable if that's all you have. Thn the cooker will be both correctly fused and on a seperate circuit from the rest of the appliances

    Old Cooker Feed

    sounds fine! could have been better to put a 20a breaker in the main cu for discrimination (which one goes first) but probably wouldn't matter as 16 & 20 are so close. NO need to fuse down further for any additional sockets as long as on 2.5mm

    electric oven.

    Crafty is right on the capacity of d/skts, but I can't really see people unplugging their hob to plug in the tumbler. Although not best practise I've had my w/m and t/d plugged into the same d/skt for at least 15 yrs, they are invariably on at the same time, and have no problems whatsoever...

    sLIGHT BUZZING FROM KITCHEN TAPS

    The Easiest way without disturbing anything your fitter may have done wrong (EVIDENCE!!!!!) is to connect a lead from the pipework to the earth terminal of a normal plug and plug it in!

    Visual Inspection

    The last job I saw two core lawnmower flex was a string of about 30 lights around a garden, internal light fittings used, choc block connectors and ins tape! 10a mcb, and no rcd. customer very miffed when I cut all the cables too short to allow reconnection!!

    double oven cooker and hob

    Yes min 4mm cable but I can' see you're going to get all those cables into a jb. consider using a 47mm double surface patress with blanking plate and 60a choc block connector strip (which you won't find in B&Q)
