Yes, straight from the consumer unit. You legally should get an electrician to do it and it should certificated under new legislation. If there is a socket where the unit is supposed to be for the cooker - check that. It may be supplied with 6mm cable. this is something electricains do when you have a gas cooker. they put a socket there supplied direct with 6mm in case you need an electric cooker in future. If the length of 6mm is more than around 6 metres then an even heavier duty cable is required, but this is unusual - unless it's a large house and you're going a round about route!

Needs at least 6mm flat twin and earth cable but the rating for the cable differs depending whether it is surface fixed, in conduit, set under plaster etc. Cooker "two years old" doesn't really tell the whole story either, could be small medium or large cooker, a range maybe, number of rings/ovens could vary, you may need 10mm cable.

T&E yes, but the size depends on the run and length of the cable, and the amperage of the cooker.
Remember that this work is notifiable now, and so it is easier to get an electrician to do it, rather than notify Building Control yourself, who will need to see an inspection report.

How did you get your 2 year old to cook already? We have a 3 year old boy and is not aloud near the stove yet.
