Hi all is there a legal or a safe limit to the length of cooker cable you can use to go from the cooker point to the back of the cooker. Thanks for any advice

Thanks Buenchico, that’s put a stop to my plans to alter the kitchen around.
Unless you get an electrician to run a new "cooker point"
You can still do it Paul.

The Regs state that there should be a maximum of 2 metres from the cooker to the isolator. (Wall switch - double pole.)

All you need to do is fit another isolator/switch in a cupboard where you can easily get to it. That way, you don't need to alter the position of your original wall switch.

Cable length doesn't come into it. It's a matter of accessible isolation.
