I will soon get a new "All electric cooker" fitted.
Total rating 14.8Kw.
Total cable run: 8 meters from CU (mostly surface)
This will be done by an electrician, but I will do the shopping in preparation. The set up is:

1- 50A MCB (already fitted on the non-RCD side of the CU)
2- 10 mm T&E from CU to 45A DP CCU (no socket)
3- 10 mm T&E from CCU to 45A Terminal Outlet Box
4- From T.O.B. to Cooker : Heat Resistant Flex(?) or 10 mm T&E

Could anyone advise if:

A - Above set up is OK

B - what size Heat Resistant Flex should I get? The biggest size I can find is 3 core 2.5 mm flex, but is this enough? If not what size & where can I find it?

C - Or would 10 mm T&E suffice? Bare earth conductor to be sleeved only?

I'd like to prepare all these ready for the sparks to install.
My gas cooker packed up & currently living on takeaways! Missus is not happy!

Any advice / comment very much appreciated.
Thanks

Heat resistant flex should not be required.

Edit..Didnt see you had 10mm twin, thats will do
 
Can he not supply his own gear? This is notifiable work. Make sure your electrician can self certify and provides you with a certificate.
