Been a while since I fitted a cooker, and all the ones I've done had a
length of cable coming out of the wall from behind the tiles below the
main cooker switch.

But the house I've been to seems to have the cooker switch, then no
cable, but two 3 pin sockets in the space for the cooker, flush with the
wall and directly above the gas pipe, below the counter level. Not seen
this before, is it normal/new practice?

Also, it looks like it had a range cooker in previously, so to check I
measured the space. space looks to be 88.5cm wide.

All the ranges I've looked at have been 90cm which measure up at arround
89.5cm. Anyone know of a 6 burner dual fual range that is described as a
90cm but measures upto the 88.5com space I need?

There are some dual-fuel cookers at 70cm or 80cm. Check Smeg, John
Lewis, New World, Stoves.

I realise that, but even an 80 is going to leave a sizeable gap arround
it. I just wondered if anyone had seen a "90cm" that was that little bit
smaller so I would have something to look for. From a quick measure up,
in Currys there were all 89.5 or 90 dead.

You might just squeeze an extra cupboard side and extended worktop in there
(like we've done, although our extra space is a fraction wider), with a
pullout towel rail to hold oven gloves and the like.

It is a thought.
