Sorry for the confusion once again, i of course meant oven when i was referring to supplying ot fro the kitchen ring main. This isnt a job i can walk away from now and although the customer can be hard work so far i have had no problems with payment

Still not advisable to supply it from a ring circuit is it.

I dont want them to go and buy say two 10kw rated showers as the chances both showers getting at the same time are quite high as they have a guest room for relatives who stay over regularly.

Well i think you worrying way to much pal, water pressure isnt powerful enough to run 2 showers at the same time unless some serious pumps are installed.

Have you been to the property and tested the water pressure then?

Convince them they want more reliable, more economical, mixer showers. Hassle from lack of info gets directed at the plumber, job done, down the pub.

Is it not? So oven arrives complete with 13a plug top and is less than 2kw and i cant plug it into the ring main?

You will be hard pressed to plug it in to a ring main full stop. However you could plug it in to a socket one ring circuit, but that is considerably poor installation design to place such a load onto a ring, and the chances of it being less than 2kW are pretty remote considering the standard oven elements used are normally 2 - 2.4 kW.
Plus of course there is the consideration to the oven being replaced with a different unit in the future, as appliances are built with shorter and shorter lifespans these days. and less people appear to want to have them repaired, along with electricians seemingly not wanting to repair cooking appliances here days.

It might have been an idea to give this bloke a hand with his designs whilst you were there then. Or at least give us a clue in your post that you had actually measured the water pressure at the location.

Sounds like the frozen north to me, somewhere the wrong side of the Watford gap
