This is my current situation...but what are the regulations and where
do I find them? My current cooker socket has a 13amp plug incorporated
within it but I'm quite happy to sacrifice this if it will make the
situation safer.
Problem is, moving the cooker socket is going to take a sparky (not
me!) about 2hours minimum to chase out a new cavern in the wall,
recable and refit etc. The cooker is electric if this is any help.
Help much appreciated and definately needed
On Site Guide p154
Cooker circuits in household or similar premises (excerpt)
...The control switch or cooker control unit should be placed within two
metres of the appliance, but not directly above it...
This presumably means that it's OK to put a separate socket above the
cooker.
