Wiring for oven

[Mephi]

I am redoing the kitchen in the flat I recently purchased. Had an electrician over to redo some of the electrics but he couldn’t give me a clear answer as to what is required to replace the existing, free standing 50cm electric cooker with ceramic hob with 60cm single oven and induction hob. He even called up his office and I shared the specs of the new appliances i am planning on buying but they were unable or unwilling to give me a clear answer and said they’d have to come back for another visit. Needless to say I am unimpressed.
The induction hob I’m planning to buy has a fuse rating of 30amp, the oven 16amps.

As i am getting my new kitchen installed in a couple of weeks, I’m a but lost as to what the next steps need to be here before I have cabinets installed that’ll be covering the wiring.

If you have a standard 30A or 32A 'cooker' circuit then you can connect both the oven and hob to it.

They will be similar to the cooker you are removing.

It’s a bit worrying that the “spark” that visited couldn’t answer if the oven and hob could be on the same circuit

Normally a duel cooker connection plate is used

and both fed from the same 32 amp supply. An induction hob uses less power to a resistive hob, so the load will be reduced, so what's the problem?

Are you sure he is even qualified?

Are you sure he is even qualified?

Definitely sounds a good question. Most real electricians at least have a strong opinion on the subject, even if it's wrong.

I believe a lot of newer sparks are unfamiliar with diversity, especially so when it comes to cooker circuits.

Thanks everyone! I’ve got zero clue about these things but I didn’t like the fact that they were trying to book me for another visit without letting me know what needs to get done in the first place. Appreciate the help!
