Add double socket to Cooker circuit?

[mcprinter]

Helping my neighbour replace a kitchen.

Cooker point (surface mounted) needs moving. Existing cable is long enough and good access under the floor.
Cable is 4 or 6 mm2. Not there at the moment but definitely quite chunky.

Could do with a double socket adding in the same area.
It would be very convenient to take this from the cooker circuit.
Is this allowed? I have a feeling the answer is no but would be very happy to be corrected.

Old style fuse box with pullable fuses if that makes any difference.

Thanks

Sounds like there are no RCDs. I suspect you can't do this work without an update to the Consumer Unit.

Have not seen the fusebox yet but as far as I understand it has no RCD

If the kitchen is being replaced then I would venture to suggest to add the socket, to the socket circuit.

Earthing, bonding and RCDs needed almost certainly

It is a used kitchen going in on a very tight budget.
Broken pipe and rotted joist/boards have been unexpected additions.

There is a double socket on the wall about 6 feet away from where I want it.
Looks like a single cable going to it.
I am guessing a spur from the adjacent room. Joist is out at the mo and I can see the cable heads to the other side of that room.

Ideally want to keep the existing (could reduce to a single). Add a single for washing machine and another double for kettle and toaster.
Neighbour has been running all 3 of a cheap 4 way extension plugged into the cooker point socket! Probably not at the same time but still.
Existing socket is usually only used for the lawn mower as close to the window.

Want to DIY if I can to save him money but at the same time do want it to be safe and compliant.
If that means electrician or leave as is, then so be it.

1930s semi. Neighbour has been there about 25 years.
No work done to electrics. Cabling looks quite 'modern'.

Nothing can be added to that.

RCDs have been required for decades.
Sockets cannot be added or relocated with no RCD.
Neither can concealed cables or alterations to lighting.

Understood thanks.
