Everything in the UK runs on 240V, but you will need a heavy cable and a 45amp circuit to run an oven and a hob. This is standard with all electric cookers anyway.

The simple answer is no. How far from the original spot are you sighting the new cooker. Can you run a length of fire proof cooker cable from the new location to the original cooker socket? If not can you chase out a route for an extended cable from the old cooker location and sight the cooker socket near the new one. Remember that your cooker is fused independently from all the other electrical items because it draws more than they do.

No, you can't plug a cooker into a 13 amp socket. If you already had a cooker, have the cable and isolator extended to the new location.

No.
A cooker electrical consumption is greater than 13 amps and would blow any conventional plug.
This is why cookers are generally hardwired in by people who are supposed to know what they are doing.

Not unless you buy two seperate appliances. Even then I think you may struggle with the oven part being a plug in. You may have to pay for the installation - - not that expensive really is it?
