The job we had yesterday was to install a new cooker circuit for a 6.4kw double electric cooker / oven. Initially the customer called us up to take a look at the existing cooker circuit to see if it would be ok to use for their new electric oven. After finding that the cooker existing cooker circuit was not correctly fused and also finding that there was no isolation or a cooker outlet plate we decided to investigate further. As you can see from the picture, I found the 6.0mm twin and earth cable disappearing behind a skirting board! We suggested a new circuit from the consumer unit to the cooker. The customer thankfully agreed and felt also that this should be done, So now the customers cooker can now be connected safely and correctly. I only wish that all customers were like this one, and when I recommend something they get it done! One of the rare occasions where the customer did not complain about the works needing to be done or haggled about the price!
