Cooker connection turned into a rewire

[uksparks]

Hi,

I went to a house today to connect a new cooker up.

The old one was on a plug top.

The kitchen had all jus be fitted last week.

The cooker control switch was plastered into the wall, I managed to gt it off to see there was nothing connected o the load side...

I said ideally you need an outlet put below the surface, yes he says that's what i need. The new oven draws 7kw.

I said lets see your fuse box...

Something out the dark ages, solid green bonding.

Hmm, I said well m not putting a cable in the wall without an rcd and new bonding, I said this really all needs updating. OT was ceramic pull n and out knob fuse things.

I took a faceplate off on the lghs and sockets.

All vulcanised rubber, donkeys years old, I said there's no way I'm counting your fuse box as I'm not connecting tht up.

Might get a rewire out of it now.

It is OK I have got Dave from down the road to shove in a bit of 2.5 twin for me, works fine smells a bit fishy though for some reason!

Memdix? Can't be that old, I've got new ones still in their boxes.

Could have been a young donkey?

Ah, right, so quite modern then, if it's insulated. Nothing to worry about.

Some people really know their priorities, spend loads on the cosmetics, but the wiring can take a back seat.!!

Of course the old put a new CU in for the cooker because you need too

That reply was sponsored by my good friend San Miguel and unfortunately he doesn't seem to be around to explain it to me right now.
