Having taken apart my old crappy kitchen I have found that my oven
power cable has a plug on the end and is plugged into a normal plug
socket, I always thought that they had to go into a 30amp box, is
that
correct?
just oven, or oven with hob?

Chgeers for you replies.
Just the oven, although we have bought a single oven and a combination
oven/micowave. It's possible that the missus would be cooking while I'm
usinbg stuff in the garage so it might all gets used at once.
Would I be better plugging the new oven into a wall socket with a plug
on then? It would certainly save a lot of rewiring if its safe.
Cheers again

As long as the new oven has a plug fitted on the flex, then yes. But not
all ovens can just be plugged in, so you must make sure that the new one you
buy has already been fitted with a UK plug top on the end of a flexible
cable. If you are going for a choice of combination oven and hob or a
double oven, then you will need to upgrade the supply cable and safety
cut-off devices that these particular appliances need, and you will
definitely not be able to use the garage supply in combination with the oven
supply.
