On forums like this it is common to see posts where they say they are getting an electrician in often they claim he's on holiday but we know that will not be the case. In the main this is apparent by the questions asked. We have got use to reading between the lines and so will give advice accordingly. When being fitted by an electrician we do not need to remind him of the RCD requirement for new circuits for example but we often will talk about this as we expect it is not going to be fitted by an electrician.
For the love of god, it is a theoretical conversation. If someone is stupid enough to play the electrician and put their life and other's at risk, there is nothing you can do.
Every electrician follows standards but also have their own views. All I wanted is to hear some opinions about what should be fitted in this case.
The work IS done by a certified and very competent electrician who will provide a certificate. The CU has dual RCDs on it. Do you want me to post the certificate up here or something?
Today in the main I would use 10mm² cable for a new cooker feed to make it future proof and on the paperwork I would call it a 45A feed fitted with a B16 MCB to match installed oven. I would hope then any electrician would swap the B16 MCB for a larger one if required in the future.
This is all I wanted to know, thank you
