No! Never did that change! Wife now wants a double oven and an electric hob. Know I have to run a separate supply for the hob, just wanted to know if I could use the existing 2.5 mm supply for the oven. Cable runs under upstairs floorboards and then drop down behind kitchen wall. Think 5.0kW is right on the limit for 2.5mm over 15m. Correct?
You'd need to put the 2.5mm² on a 20A MCB, since 2.5 is rated at 27A optimum.
That oven draws 21A full belt. So not on the line for the cable, but on the line for the nessecary protective device. Should be ok.

Or if the risk of the MCB tripping upsets you, use 4mm on a 32 A breaker.
