On the plus side, if you're planning to stay in the house for the foreseeable future, this is the opportunity to set out the electrics how you like, i.e. sockets (kitchens never have enough normally for all of today's appliances), light locations, lightswitches, outdoor lights (and sockets - they're so useful). But please get it done by a qualified electrician; you can sleep safe at night then. Older houses with solid walls will require chasing out for new cabling; it's a messy job and things like plastering up afterwards is best left to the pros, so even the non-electrical donkey work isn't worth you getting involved in.

Ask around, find a good local spark and get them in. See if you can help them out if you want to save a few quid (things like drilling joists for cable runs, pulling through cables, removing old stuff etc.) but unless they're pretty easy going they might not be interested.

Current (geddit? Laughing) circumstances, you should be able to find a sparkie who's furloughed or been layed off who will do a homer for a reasonable price.

Maybe. Plenty of options, there are a couple of firms in Stafford that have gone under, I am sure it's not that difficult to find someone.

Giant electrical fire burned down the entire slum, King29 is now fighting an army of rats, armed with nothing but a shitty nappy for who gets to sleep in the old washing machine.

I've blown the nappy tramp into the local authority, all that's missing now is my 30 pieces of silver. Also dobbed her into social services for imho child neglect. Feck it, in for a penny and all that.

Also grassed on the rat lover next door and sent the video (minus the sound track) to the council. Seriously thinking about changing my surname to Iscariot now, guilt tripping a bit I suppose.

Electrician will have to wait to the new year. Until I have funds. Father in law has been over, he's a born and bred Yorkshire man, so you can imagine "Tha's living in a reet shit hole Darren, tha should be ashamed".

1. House is not a shit hole.
2. It's a work in progress.

Leave him be. This is BCF's very own Soap Opera.

So the cooker is broke beyond repair. Has been for sometime, wife is sick of cooking in a small halogen oven contraption. I've decided to get a new cooker. Got my eye on one but it 'suggests' it's going via a spur and not a 13amp plug. Max power rating for the oven is 2.1kw. Since some normal heaters are 2.2kw plug in electric with a 3 pin plug type; surely I can just wire a plug and run it off that?

The socket behind the cooker is a twin socket where as most spurs I can see are single so I can't bodge it.

Am I going to be OK sticking a plug on the end of the wire?

It's a Stoves single oven.
https://www.stoves.co.uk/products/cooking/built-in-ovens/st-seb602f/

Installation
Terminal Block PositionRear Left

Supply Voltage (V)220-240V

Supply Frequency (Hz)50Hz

Electrical ConnectionFixed Wiring (Cable Supplied)

Total Electrical Power Load (kW)2.29kW

Fuse Size (A)13A

Fuse says 13A (13 Amperes.)
The cooker is rated at 2.3kW
On 220va.c. that's under 9amps current.

Your ring main for sockets should be protected by a 32Amp Minature Circuit Breaker (MCB)

Check your Consumer Unit and if it's 32A buy a nice new MK 13amp Plug with a 13amp fuse then you are good to go.

Cookers are usually on their own MCB so as to prevent overload if too much load is applied.
The MCB will never see anymore than 13amps as the plug fuse will fail before the breaker feels anything.

The only risk is if something else injures the cable (in the wall).

I hope I will be invited to tea now. 🤣
