Sub board for a kitchen ? Not the way I would ever choose to do things. What's the reason for this ?
You have had the benefit of seeing the job so surely you are best placed to choose the best way to do this job ?

Probably but not the way I would do it, I would come from the down stairs lighting circuits for the lights, put a new ring in for the kitchen ring and as mentioned by aesmith cooker supply?

What to do is wire it that way then get the customer to run the cooker, the microwave, the toaster and the washing machine at the same time and ask if they are happy with your workmanship!! Absolutely no clue!!

I find myself replying to less and less as the days go on in this place. rules say that if we can't be helpful then don't bother. that's my excuse for staying schtum so frequently.
says a lot about the quality of posts here these days...

Mr Electrician that doesn't know how to do basic jobs.

Wouldnt it be easier to have the DIY section at the top of the main board and erase the rest. Would save folk a lot of time that they can't get back.

Aye no bother mate, unless you want things to work properly in which case no it is not.
If you're an electrician I'll show my backside in Binns window.
You could however be a wind up merchant

NO!!!
There seems to be a trend on here that if your are having a new conservatory or kitchen fitted that you MUST run in a new sub main and board etc????
WHY ???

Because they MUST have the magic RCD in EVERY case.

Trev, I think it is more a case of they don't know How to work with what they have already got! Ie extend lighting circuits install new sockets from existing board as Mike suggested earlier!!. It takes less thinking about to just whack a new sub board on.
