New oven other side of kitchen

Hi

I am soon to fit/have fitted a new kitchen.
Currently I have a single electric oven on one side of the kitchen with it's own circuit. The new integrated double oven (no hob) will be on other side of the kitchen. The other side of kitchen does have an unused (but live) fused connection unit that is on same circuit as our gas boiler (I guess for thermostat, controller pump etc.).

My question is two part.

1) Can I use this fused connection for oven? Not sure of Wattage, but it will be a double oven.

Or

2) Can the existing oven circuit be run in channel across solid floor (in plastic conduit?), fill channel with cement before screeding and laying LVT fooring? Unfortunately cannot go above and down wall and have doorway, so not easy to go around.
Consumer unit is on wrong side of the room too, so replacing existing cooker circuit with new one gives same issue.

any ideas/ advice appreciated.

Thanks
 
FCU cannot be used for oven.

Can't you lift a few floor boards upstairs (which way joists running,usually not too difficult pulling new cable through) & lay new cooker circuit from consumer unit.
 
You could channel across floor. Needs a separate new circuit so this is notifiable work.
On that basis you need a registered electrician to do the work and sign it off. You should ask him/her about all of this.

Hi Bazza,
Was thinking that if re-routing existing oven circuit (just supplies current oven), then no new circuit. Am I misunderstanding?
If new circuit is required, then i’d look to do rough work in advance and then have electrician to connect.

Thanks
 
You could extend the existing circuit, assuming it is adequate for the new load and that all cables are routed in the recognised zones for cables.
Not notifiable as it’s not a new circuit.
