Hi,
10mm Twin & Earth = 53A, Max Load = 12.72kw
6mm Twin & Earth = 40A, Max Load = 9.6kw
The Cable You Require is 10mm Twin & Earth.

The diversity factor of any cooker is the first 10amps + 30% of the rest I make this to be a total of 30Amps (inc socket outlet) therefor 6mm should be fine however you could always wire it in 10mm just to be sure or it's a long run to the CCU.
Probably sorted after 6 1/2 years
