Oh! dear, it sounds as if the job just got more lengthy and expensive. So 'sparks' will be chopping off tiles from the walls etc.
But thanks guys, better to know in advance.
Alan, we are still on the old pull out fuses and the cooker one is 30A so sounds like 7.5 kW and shows diversity works as its never blown. Missus only ever uses the bottom oven and rings at one time and the dishwasher always later. One job to be done is a new fuse panel with individual breakers. The house does have a common ELT which apparently becomes redundant.
Lawrence, modern built in single ovens with pyrolytic cleaning are about 3.5 kW max and induction hobs are an amazing 7.4 kW everything flat out which is very unlikely.
SWMBO wants it and you know how it is ... the old was good enough to me but I can see her point of eye level cooking, not getting any younger. Also, pull out draws for pans etc are a good idea.
thanks Gary
