Cooker wiring

[Supernube]

Hello all. I need to lengthen the cooker socket cable in order to move the socket. I have crimped the 2.5 cable I had to lengthen for the lights Ive fitted in another area of the kitchen but Im worried looking at the thickness of this cable that feeds to the cooker socket....I have some larger crimper connectors but Im unsure if this is safe to do. Can somebody please advise me how to join this cable in order to lengthen it. Are the crimper connectors ok to use ? or is there another way ?
Thank you
Daniel

What's wrong with gas? Just use your smoke lighter to test for leaks.

Daniel,

The (sensible) suggestions are the correct way of doing things, however, you are working on circuits in a special location that a)will need certifying & b) need notifying to your LABC which inly a registered electrician can do.

Also, there are zones to consider when extending, moving or installing cables.

These are VERY important, as these are one of the reason why Part P was introduced.

Another suggestion about employing a competent electrician to do these works is the way to go.

At least that way, you will know the work is done safely, alongside having the correct paperwork if you should ever want to sell the house.

Good luck.

Well...I DO have kids...four of them...and I love them all very much....and NO I could not live with myself If they all burned to death.
I will get a qualified Electrician in as soon as possible to check what I have already done....and get advice on how best to do the cooker cable job.
While he's here I will get him to test it all.
Thank you very much for your help.

Fair play to you, sometimes the cost of doing the job right is more expensive than calling in a pro. Anyway good luck.

All I wanted to do was move the actual switch over two foot....Is It honestly not something we can discuss and sort out safely?
Thanks

Not with your level of competence.

Now please stop winding people up and leave. Don’t forget to close the door behind you. Good night.

Wasters,

I come on this forum for advise myself and (well hopefully) give some advise along the way.

I haven't really got the time to read pages of posts to find out someones having a laugh, so do us all a favor, get a life.

All this is of course you are actually winding us up (judging by your other posts you are)!

How come you've you say you've already crimped a lighting circuit, but then further down you say you haven't used crimps yet? Daz
