    Thx Kirk

    I had a look behind the kitchen cabinet under the gas hob and there is a standard wall socket

    can this be utilised/upgraded to service an induction hob?

    No. Socket wouldn't do for that

    I'm not sure on one 6sq doing both double oven and induction hob, I would just add separate cable anyhow

    agree, prob safest option

    only prob is chasing the new cable - not sure I can piggyback on the existing socket and want to avoid as much disruptions as possible

    If your house is a bungalow or you have access to attic space directly above cooker location a handy electrician may be able to replace the cable from fuse board to existing standard socket at cooker with a suitably sized cable to suit induction hob - it would save the disruption & mess chasing walls etc will create.

    Does your gas hob need a socket for ignition?

    yes, the socket under my gas hob behind the kitchen cabinet is used for the sparker ignition

    it's a solid brick wall so not sure you could chase an upgraded cable back to the fuse box
