Normally you ask 6 electricians for 6 different answers:-)

And if you are a contractor for the local council you join it with 60A
terminal strip *in a plastic bag under the bath*

They don't use that contractor any more, probably because they weren't
cheap enough

Use an appropriate junction box? Best located somewhere accessible. Which
may mean cutting back the existing cable.

Work in a kitchen comes under Part P of the Building Regs which means if
you do it yourself you will need to have the work lnspected by Building
Control or certified by a qualified electrician. The cost of which may
be as much as paying a qualified electrician to do what is likely to be
a relatively in expensive job anyway.

And just how is anyone going to know just when this work was done and by
whom? Assuming the work is done by a competent person as all things
electric should be. With or without some bit of paper.

Yeah - wasting money on fancy plastic bags!

No it doesn't (anymore). That was changed a year or two back.

Special locations now only include bathrooms and shower rooms (typical
domestic scenarios) - not even outside stuff.

You might need to produce a certificate of compliance if you want to
sell or rent the property in the future.

They're easily downloaded from the web.

Fill in the address and a few plausible figures and file it alongside the EPC.

So getting someone in to extend a cooker cable guarantees that?

Not in England.

The Micks, Taffies and Jocks have different rules.

But that's their problem not mine.

Suitable junction box in an appropriate location. If the new wiring is
chased in and buried less than 50mm from the surface, and not already
protected by an earthed metallic screen, then you may need to add RCD
protection to the circuit if its not already RCD protected.

Note that RCD protection is not always desirable on a cooker circuit -
so if necessary, extending it in earthshild or similar cable may be
worthwhile.
