Require additional cooker spur in kitchen

[intamixx]

Hello,

My electrician is currently wiring a new kitchen and has wired in a cooker switch to a cooker fused spur shown in the attached photo for the electric cooker oven. He has used 6mm flex wiring for the circuit. The cooker hob is gas. He has installed a B32 for the circuit back at the consumer unit and the cooker requires a 32A connection according to its specs.

We now require another electric combi oven/microwave/grill (don’t ask!) mounted at eye level around 2 meters away from where the cooker is. This combi unit requires a 16A connection and there is only a 13A double socket in this area.

Given they have already plastered and skimmed the walls and adding another separate circuit would be a little difficult, I just wanted to check before the electrician comes back next week, but he talked about having an additional cooker spur off the 6mm flex cable which are within 2m of each other. So both spurs would be controlled by the cooker switch. Would this mean the MCB would need changing to a B50 to allow for the potential higher power draw? Is this acceptable or is there another better way to do this?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Assuming the present one is 32A (or 40A), No.

Is this acceptable

Yes.

or is there another better way to do this?

No.
