Yes, was just about to say similar.

:D

Tell him to look at the vast majority of cooker circuits in the U.K. Show him this thread and countless others from people whose "electricians" did not know what they were doing.

Induction hobs can be limited when the supply circuit is small - yours is not.

Can we have a diagram for the downstairs switch?

Oh ok. :)

Without integral socket in the cooker switch. Do the maths. :)

Yes - and with an oven as well. You seem more knowledgeable than the "electrician". Find one who knows what he is doing.

Yes.

Yes, but does it not have a switch?

Yes. Yes, you will have to keep it. It is not really necessary but there is a silly rule by the DNO.

Yes you do. New means new - not there before. There is nothing saying you cannot have a 'new' (there you go; I knew you knew) connection for a hob without replacing a consumer unit.

Your assumption is correct. It is a repair which is not notifiable. 4mm² would likely have been adequate if the route does not involve running through thermal insulation. That will be fine. It is not notifiable. Part P merely states that you shall ensure it is safe. This is Part P of the...

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2010/2214/regulation/12 That is the actual law (in England) and that is all it says. So, what do you think? It is not (b) or (c) so is it a new circuit? You may decide just as well as anyone else.

I would say you are correct. You don't actually need the second breaker in the garage at all.

Looks alright. No. Many an hour wasted on faulty new products.

Yes. When you say cooker, do you mean oven? If so it would be better (though not critical) the other way round - 6mm² to hob and 4mm² to oven.
