Hello,
I am new to this forum, and am in need of some help.
Firstly, we have moved into a house that has been "done up", personally I reckon some fella watched a few to many Homes Under The Hammer and thought he would have a go, but still, we have a cooker with a separate control unit which is on its own wiring and has a specific fuse in the brand new Consumer Unit which we had to have replaced. From that Consumer Unit there is a Cooker Control Unit, which then has a couple of feet of wiring to a double plug and socket which has our separate hob and oven plugged into the 2 sockets (one socket each). This cooker and hob are not sufficient for our needs and we have a double oven with hob sat in the garage which we want to use. My question to you (finally) is, is it possible to wire up our double oven with a 13amp plug on it and plug it in, or will it have to be hardwired into the cabling coming from the control unit, i.e. replace the 2 13 amp sockets with a blanking plate and have the cable coming out, sorry it is so long.
Cheers
