I'm fitting a built-in oven with a microwave oven above it. The oven is 3.5kW and I'm using 6mm cable to the fuse box. I will be fitting two single 13 amp sockets, one for the microwave and the other for any other kitchen accessories. My question is: Can I use the oven circuit for the two sockets or do they have to have their own separate 2.5mm cable from the fuse box? Is there anything in the regulations regarding this.
Regarding the Part P: When I've finished I'll be getting an electrician to replace my old fuse box with a consumer unit and I'll get him to inspect my work on the oven installation.

Well, you may design a circuit to feed any appliances you want.
So, unless you know what you are doing I would limit it to the oven and just one socket for the microwave.

Doesn't really work like that but he will test it.
