Electrical safety issue with Bosch oven and induction hob

[tubafan]

I’m puzzled why the electrician doesn’t think it should be Part P notified as surely anything with a new RCBO is a new circuit and new circuits are notifiable.All sounds very suspect to me.

for him to even suggest that makes me doubt his electrical qualifications

Do you mean connecting the oven, hob and extractor together on a 32A radial circuit goes against electrical regs?

He said the work will be certified, and it could be Part P notified for a £10 Council registration fee.

He seems to be including a new RCBO in his quote, but the wiring only seems to be replacing the old wiring from the junction on top of the cabinets, so is it actually a new circuit?

It was said above that the oven and hob needed to be on the socket ring circuit, not a spur. Does a radial circuit from the junction meet these requirements?

ok depends on what you mean as a radial circuit. if its a dedicated wire ( normally 6mm) and it only feeds the hob and the oven thats ok

if it feeds any other socket in the kitchen then no

its only a new circuit if the wire is fed from the fuse board. any existing joint box is going to be part of an existing circuit. if this circuit supplies anything else then both appliances would have to be limited to 13A to be able to be plugged in or connected through a 13A spur box
