I want to split a cooker cable to go three ways to hob, oven and microwave/grill. Have used 45A cable from the consumer unit but can only find 30A junction boxes which although can probably take the load would need some sort of messy daisy-chaining to handle all the thick wires.

Not a good idea. Try using an adaptable box with line taps inside. Personally I would run 2-3 radials in, or use cooker outlet plates but with 10mm cable it could be a bit tight getting two in one box. I would class any way of doing what you want a form of light/medium bodgery, unless you ran the seperate radials in.

I would class any way of doing what you want a form of light/medium bodgery, unless you ran the seperate radials in, which I now know you can't do so some sort of central distribution point as suggested above is about the only way you're going to do it. This thread is going round in circles without IMM, how novel!

A henley block is for meter tails, it is designed for use with double insulated single core cables. Sticking twin and earth into one is not recommended because of the singl insulated bits of wire between the outer T&E sheath and the connector on the henley block. Here are some at TLC,
The hob I can understand but what sort of oven or microwave require more than a normal 13A supply? When I had an electric oven it was only a few kw. Current combi microwave/oven/grill is plugged into a normal
