    New Electric Oven

    Hi all, My old oven packed up over Christmas so I ordered a new one. The old oven was simply plugged into a socket on the wall. The new oven is 4030W and the existing hob 4050W, the existing hob is wired into the mains, both oven and existing hob are on the same CU circuit. I have been quoted £350 for a new cable 10mm cable into the CU (around 5m from the oven), installation of new switch and connecting the oven up. Does this sound about accurate? Thanks in advance!
