Moving Cooker Control Unit?

[construct]

I'm currently fitting a new kitchen and it turns out I'll need to move the existing CCU another 18", but I'm unsure as to how best do this.

Can anyone advise?

Sideways, down, upwards ?

Photo would be good !

Moving to the left by 18", I've read that a 60a JB would suffice as means of cable extension.

(TBH a photo is unnecessary)

Leave the CCU where it is and move the kitchen.

Thank God you're here

Can you not just replace the cable from the cooker switch to the ccu - one less jb?
Sometimes your lucky and the there is a bit of room under the backbox.
Once below the kitchen worktop it doesn't matter whether its buried or surface mounted.

The cable's been buried from the original fit-out, are you suggesting pulling the cable out and reinserting it with additional length (assuming it's been covered in capping), or breaking the plaster first?

Edit: I can't do that as there are two feeds within the CCU, one from the CO and the other from the CU. That means a JB must be the only practical option..
