As per the title I need to extend safely a cooker wire
The cable drops down from a hole in the wall and at the moment the bloke gas a larger chock block joining some newer cable to the existing cooker that he done him self a few years ago
Now hes having a newer cooker Put in and asked me to wire the new one in
I poped over last night to see what is what and confound the chock block joint and said I'm not doing that unless it's done safe so I dont mind doing it but is needs a proper joint
Yes a bee cable would be great but the old is plastered in to the wall
I'm thinking trunking down the wall to a new cooker connection box in a deep pattress box make a joint then to the cooker (if this is done does it need to be tested part p or as existing it's just a joint it's fine )or just a 30amp or 40 or 60 amp joint box ?
Or do they do a inline cable connector like a sausage joint
