And for me to make that proposal I need an idea of what is the best course of action. I have asked him but he is one man so doesn't it make sense to ask a group of people to get different options?
Clearly the first reply was helpful but those since including your own has really added no value. Simply saying 'ask an electrician' doesn't appear to be in the vein of the spirit of the forum and the nature of DIY.
The problem I have is why you are saying you are using a registered electrician when clearly you are not. If you are doing it yourself then please say and advice will be given accordingly.
Any registered electrician worth his or her salt would not be giving you the advice in the manner you say you are being given.
If this electrician actually exists then, you can still do the grunt work, but he would be designing the circuit viz cable size, MCB size, voltage drop and route. He would be personally supervising the route you are taking - which from your description is impossible to determine whether you have breached safe zone requirements. He would be testing the circuit and providing you with an appropriate certificate and ultimately a Building Control notice from either your Local Authority or his scheme – You know the same documents you would have received for your Consumer Unit installation.
Throughout this whole installation process from the choosing of the Consumer Unit to the position and cable sizes you appear to be the one who is asking the questions of this forum rather than taking advice of person who is going to sign this installation of.
Looking at your photograph of the ‘old’ consumer unit layout there a number of clear and fundamental issues in addition to the new CU that you have not spoken about but must be put right before you commence connecting your oven cables to the installation.
With this in mind I personally believe that you are one who is completing this installation and not the ‘one man band’ electrician as suggested by your comments.
I appreciate that those who contribute are conscious of people posting on forums and then undertaking work which they are not trained or skilled to do but I think it is unfair to tar everyone with the same brush. Some of the public / non-trade who post on here (including myself) have a reasonable level of common-sense but sometimes just need an opinion on whether an idea is feasible or not. Posting and chastising for the sake of it is an easy option.
I will tell you what, I will humbly apologise if you show us a photograph of the inside of the newly installed Consumer Unit and a copy of the Electrical Installation Certificate, the schedule of inspections and schedule of test results. You can blank out your details and that of the spark – I would be particularly interested in the first page of the EIC supply characteristics and earthing arrangements as well as the test results for the individual circuits.
