Next question (brace yourselves, as there will be many more)
New place has a gas hob. We became used to the induction hob in the old place.
I will of course get an electrician to sort the install of a new induction hob, and have the gas capped off by a gas safe professional.
The gas guy can do his bit tomorrow, but I'm struggling to get an electrician. Is there any way to confirm in advance that it will be possible to install (in regards to adding the necessary fused spur, with sufficient current capacity etc)? The breaker board (consumer unit?) looks fairly modern to me, but I don't see any available unused circuits. Can new ones be added?
I don't know what I'm looking at to be honest, but my father in-law suggested that the property might previously had three phase power.
Sure you need it hard wired? Some induction hobs (but maybe not yours) come on a 3-pin plug. They still need to be plugged into a socket with a dedicated feed, or if your oven's fused spur is the type with a socket in it then it could be plugged into that.
