Wiring in a Cooker (Don't Groan)

Thanks Trev - may be a while yet - SWMBO has yet to decide what she wants.

I have one of those too but with us it's more SWWLTBO

A double oven will require a dedicated circuit with the appropriate sized cable. (probably 6mm but could be more or less depending on route taken/load etc. You were probably sold 6mm though). The switch does not have to be on the wall, in an adjacent cupboard will do as long as it is easily accessible.
When finished the job will have to be notified by a registered electrician (either Nappit, ELECSA or niceic) or a non reg electrician could do it with the appropriate extortionate fees paid to the local council building control.
Now I've broken my own rule of giving advice to non electricians I really hope you are not going ahead anyway and doing it yourself.
I'll cry else. ;0)

Thanks Tonka - I know my limits...

Last question so I know what's expected:

The cable (it is 6mm twin and earth btw) will run down from the celing behind the oven, inside the wooden housing. Will it need to be in conduit?

Let your spark decide that one Santa. There may be a necessity for it there may not, it's difficult when you're not there looking at it deciding how to do it

Thanks guys - I guess the floorboards will have to stay as they are for the time being. At least I know what to expect.
