I will shortly be having a range cooker installed that requires 2 x 13 amp supplies. Maximum power required is stated as 3 kW and 2.85 kW respectively. I have a redundant cooker supply on its own circuit, probably 30 amp. I would like to convert this to provide the power for the new cooker. Can you advise if this is possible please and what would be needed?

It won’t be a problem, however check a couple of things.
Do the appliance come with plugs fitted?
If yes, then have a single socket for each. Don’t plug both of them into a double.
If no, then don’t put a plug on them. Hardwire them both into the existing cooker outlet.
If you have to add lengths of cable, then make sure it’s of required size to carry the expected load. Ie, you cant run both from a bit of 2.5mm
