as i said i only just got that from the estate agent after much bugging. i thought it was 32 bu clearly the certificate says 16. i can only say sorry i dont want to waste peoples time.
if i can get a single gas oven on one end - and make a second socket for MW and existing for washing machine and dryer i would really appreciate it.

You can put a single electric oven on the existing circuit. Maximum current 16amps. Thats approx 3.6KW (do not confuse KW with KWh). Most ovens over 3KW require wiring in and don't come with a 13A plug.
Then you could plug a microwave into a socket on the ring (socket) circuit. Add a socket from the utility, if the existing socket is on the ring and is not already a spur.

I got a reply back from the person who issued the certificate !!
Looking at certificate and pictures it would look like the main consumer unit has been changed since my visit and new cables have been added to the oven circuit. The 4mm cable is not on my certificates and it lists it as just for oven so socket has been added after too. The certificates for the new consumer unit at this point are more useful as this work takes on the responsibility of alterations to my work.
The main concern is what current rating the MCB is. Originally it would have been 16A.
You need to check the KW rating of oven and compare to size of MCB. 2500W (2.5KW) will use 11.5Amps. If the oven is small enough rating it could be possible to fit microwave into same circuit, but you may need to remove the washing machine socket from circuit for fear of tripping out MCB or overloading 2.5mm cables.

Ask the person who sent you that reply to explain diversity for cooking appliances to you.
where is the 2 way consumer unit / DB ? as mentioned on the works certificate? Kitchen? or near.
And most interestingly what cable size supplies it I wonder

its in the garage converted room. on the other side is the kithcen area.
Could you connect the new oven to it? With a new Mcb or off the ring 32
Really??
Well as a temporary measure.
Wasn’t this the thread that was temporary.

Nor do we have 220v, nor 60Hz. Where did this instruction come from?
