Routing electric cable

[juco]

I currently have an island unit containing an electric hob. This will shortly be unused and a gas hob elec oven installed against the wall (freestanding).
The socket for the hob is in the island and fed from under the floor. The gas cooker will require an elec feed and I intend to use the same feed as the current one, it has to be resited and will be about 5 feet shorter than the island, however I understand it will have to be wall mounted and then a feed from that socket to the freestanding cooker.
I am not doing the electrics even though it should be a simple connection but I intend to get the basics ready for the elec, ie the route to the new location.
So if the cable comes from under the floor and mounted say 3 feet up the wall does this cable get fed through the cavity in the wall OR do I hack off the tiles and gouge out a channel in the wall for the cable and then refill/tile afterwards.
The gas fitter will bring his elec on the day so I need to have any `building` work already done.
Thanks, hope it makes sense.

you will have to bury it if you dont want to see it.there is no way you will be able to feed it up the cavity.you could surface mount it in white trunking good luck

Thanks Bryanpar.

I will have the channel ready for the elec so it can be buried. I get a cheap rate of the elec if I do the manual stuff. I cant afford to waste time as it needs to coincide with the gas fitter, as the gas hob has and elc oven.

I wasnt sure if it is was fed through as the last job I got done was an elec shower and the cable was fed from ground floor to attic, took me 3 days with all the obstacles but it did save a few bob.

Thanks

If you're expecting that electrician to sign any certificates to say that he did it you're very likely to be disappointed, unless you get him to tell you where, and how, to install the cables.

I think all will be ok but thanks for the warning.

The gas guy works with the elec all the time (for dual installations) and will guide me as likely route if any doubt I will phone the elec guy.
