oven and Hob wiring
May 3^rd, 2025, 1:10pm

Hello, I'm renovating a rental and the existing oven and hob are now out and new has been purchased.
I only have a single 45A wall outlet with a 2.5mm T&E cable coming from it. I can't change this as I'm keeping the tiling. The circuit has a 32A MCB in the consumer unit.
The old set up was the wall cable to the oven then a standard 2.5mm T&E from the oven to the hob. This didn't look great to me.
The new oven is 2.4kw and the hob is 6kw.
How should these be wired from the single outlet?
TIA

It's only going to be pulling around 10A. Seems to be fairly common, meaning you don't need a spark to come and connect a replacement oven. So you'd have the hob wired to the cooker outlet and a single socket for the oven to just plug into
