The kitchen in my newly-(almost) completed extension has a (professionally
installed) 45A radial cooker circuit which currently terminates in a

electric domino hob and a fridge-freezer close to where the box is situated.
Is there any reason why I can't take two 2.5mm cables from the junction box
via two switches to two sockets, to do so?

If the junction box is before/instead of a cooker control unit, no.

2.5mm2 is not rated for a 45A circuit!

It would be fine if he de-rated the breaker.
