wiring question

[SS]

As part of a kitchen refurbishment I will be moving an island electric hob and extractor fan above to the kitchen wall. I suspect (still to trace though) that the wiring for the fan will follow the new shorter route so I will have maybe 4 feet of excess wire, would ir be ok to store the excess in the ceiling void rather than cut and rewire? Also the new cooker will have a gas hob and electric oven, assuming this has already been wired / rated properly (it has a socket at floor level) could I just take this socket and re position on the wall for the new cooker, again there should be excess length when repositioned but could be left under the floor.

Thoughts please as on a very tight budget and I am thinking a relatively simple resiting I could do, but wouldnt attempt much more than that when it comes to electrical.

Yep - that's OK.

Yes.

But in the latter case, you should open up the socket and test the terminals for tightness after disturbing it and the cable.

Thanks Tim, I thought that would be ok, just looking for confirmation before I do anything electrical. Good point re checking the tightness of wires.

Single electric oven should be OK. Double oven would almost certainly need more than 13 amps.

Kitchen + electrical =3D part P =3D expensive.

Only if you want to tell them.

Stricktly speaking an oven that is rated at over 2kW should not run off the ring circuit, but other than that everything seems OK

You might still be the first diyer to notify in some areas

NT In theory I am just moving the cooker hood with all electrics intact so no electrical work involved. Much the same as having my laptop plugged in and moving from my knee to a table....In theory :-)
