I gathered that would be the case, won't be much of an issue chiseling out the aperture a little wider. I will definitely go about it this way. I appreciate the advice, if you worked on your 'bedside manner' a bit you would totally be a star, thank you.

I actually asked advice about what I intended to do initially on here....one of the reasons I do not like both coming on these forums is snarky comments before anyone comes up with any useful advice....thank you for finally pertaining to some.....so I will ask one final question again. If I do...

I don't know so much, just your initial comment was hardly inspiring advice.

For once, thank you a sensible response, I was not aware that such metal boxes existed. So is it ok to spur the 13A mains plug off the 45A cooker plate with 2.5mm t&e cabling?

That's not an issue, because I have done research and asked advice. I know that I am using the correct cable for the rating of the induction hob...I know that I have correct sizing for wiring up the cabling in the existing double gang metal box without resorting using a non isolated double...

It may be my own home but I am not into doing a cowboy job, leave that to the initial builders thank you. No way am I going to hot wire up to the back of a 13A double socket 4mm2 H07RN-F flex cable and leave a double socket visible...you may as well be saying that rather than buying 45A cooker...

Thanks, I have actually been to Toolstation now and bought a 45A/13A twin cooker socket and been to CEF and bought a couple of metres of HO7RNF cable. Thick plaster is dot and dabbed onto the brick wall so plenty of room to drill a hole and feed that flexible cable in behind the socket through...

A little unorthodox yes, I was thinking it would be ok to get one of these 45A/13A double sockets and chisel out some plaster and feed through some 4mm t/e cable through one of the back box grommets to connect up. Would the other solution be to remove the 13A mains plug from the 2.1KW Oven...

We moved into this house as a new build, first and only owners, so no. The Bosch electric single oven and Bosch gas hob were part of the kitchen installation when we bought the house. The double socket has always been behind the cooker as is....I only removed the single oven last night and...

The rest of the kitchen sockets are on their own 32A circuit.

So for futher clarity, although I feel I have already concisely explained the situation in the opening questions. There is a 32A MCU feeding this 45A Wall Switch, this is connected SOLELY to the double socket behind the cooker which is 2100kw and 13A mains plug, and a 13A mains plug for the...

Your attitude is a little offish, I did say "As the counter top 45A switch is currently feeding a sole 13A double socket would the t/e cable need uprating?"

No real different than the switches on the current double socket behind the cooker? That then in turn has an isolation switch from the 45A counter top cooker switch surely? So would I be better off replastering and putting two individual sockets in, one 45A dedicated hob and spurring a single...

As I said John, a double 13A mains socket behind the cooker is the only feed from that. There then is a separate 32A MCB for the rest of the kitchen sockets.

Appreciative in any advice regarding a change over in the kitchen. It is a new build, so no previous re-wiring has been undertaken. Currently have a 2.1kw undercounter Bosch Electric Single Oven and a Bosch Gas Hob (electric ignition). We are changing the hob from gas to induction, getting a...
