Spur off cooker socket

[T-maker]

Hi all. Is it OK to position a double 13 amp socket below worksurface level in the kitchen and get power to this by running a spur from the cooker socket. I'm fitting a built in single oven (1.85Kw) and also need power to gas hob for the ignitor.

Thanks in advance.

What else will the cooker circuit be supplying?

You plug an appliance i.e toaster, kettle etc into the cooker socket at the moment.

Just taken the wall units down and found a few nastys. 10mm cable has been connected to 6mm cable with choc block 1ft down from the ceiling inside a 6" inch square metal box. This 6mm cable then goes horizontally along the wall for 2ft before coming down the wall into the cooker isolation switch. This cable is buried into the wall only where the back of the units touchthe wall! Nice job.

Can any one tell me how they would get power to a 1.8kw oven and ignition switch for a gas hob?

You only need a double 13A socket for that.
Just run the cooker circuit (in a safe zone) to a double socket somewhere that you can access to plug in the oven and the hob spark.

Accesible isolator?

Thanks very much Taylortwocities.

I've lifted some floorboards above the kitchen, disconnected the 10mm cable from the choc block in the kitchen and pulled the cable up. I've then wired the 10mm cable to a 45amp junction box fitted to a noggin between the joists. I'm now going to run a cable from the junction box, down the kitchen wall to a CCU then down from that to a 13 amp double socket under worksurface level.

I do have three questions if you wouldn't mind answering.

1) What size cable should i use from the JB to the CCU and then to the double socket. (currently 6mm)

2) Do i need to use a CCU or would an FCU do the job?

3) Does the wiring set up I've described sound OK?

Thanks to anyone in advance for any advice.
