HI Guys, so looking for some advice I've had a re-wire for our new kitchen all was going to plan until yesterday when I realised that my changing of appliance could be a issue.. I told the electrician I was getting a range style cooker so he wired up for this, I changed my mind after seeing the prices and carried on plodding away fitting the kitchen, with what would be a ikea induction hob 6. 5 kw no cable included. And Ikea oven 2.48 kw, I have absolutely no electric knowledge and my electrical is on holiday he is due back in 10 days to fit sockets etc.

IS it possible and safe to run these from the same 32 amp fuse? the consumer unit is directly right by the dividing wall very close. It looks like a 10 mm cable, as far as I'm aware he has prepped for a cooker switch on the wall and incoming range power cable at just above floor level, there is also a separate white cable that runs above for an extraction fan as pictured tho it looks like it may be run from the 32 also. I've attached lots of pics hopefully someone can help me out I'm confused as I have seen lots of posts saying it's fine but others saying it nerds separate fuses. Cheers guys
 
Yes, 32A will be more than adequate.
He/you will need a dual appliance connector if both appliances wire in.

If the oven is on a plug, he will need to add a 13A socket. This can be wired from the cooker connection point/

Thanks for the reply, thats good news, both the cooker and hob state hard wiring, would i be safe to carry on tiling or would the dual connection result in the walls needing to be hacked away?
 
I think you should wait until you electrician comes back, before proceeding any further. Not sure why the supply for your cooking appliance, whatever it might have been, is behind said appliance, and is that a round flexible cable used to supply the fan?
 
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

PS I think my observations about the white flex is incorrect, looks like a bit of flat cable?
 
thanks for all the feedback, the consumer unit is located safely in the hallway its just worked out well that the new housing unit for hob/oven is located next to the wall dividing the hall and kitchen.

there was no existing oven cable, as its a new layout all oulets/cable you can see pictured are new.

i have no idea what type of cable is being used for the extractor although it is definitely a white outer sleeve there is as pictured some other wires that i believe are to be used as a isolation switch for the extractor https://photos.app.goo.gl/KNsEz6jf1piYJbTk9

I believe the 6mm and 40A MCB debate is a little contentious at times. It depends on the installation method, being pretty close to the tabulated...
