Hello, I've just had my entire kitchen redone. I laid out a map of where appliances would go, but this wasn't followed. So now I have the following situation:
The electrician has advised me that rather than chase the correct cable for the oven from the other side of the kitchen, I can plug the oven and hob into a 13amp plug socket. He told me to check if the wires got warm and if it would trip the fuse. He was pretty open that this wouldn't pass building regs, but that there's nothing inherently dangerous in doing this.
Can I ask the advice of this forum on what I'm letting myself in for?
Many thanks.
