[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 474297, member: 6969"] In principle you may not have done anything "wrong" but still waiting to find out what this "20 amp" cable is that you have used. As long as the junction box is rated for both the cable size and current then that is not an issue (the average round 32A junction box will almost certainly NOT be rated for the cooker sized cable) And as long as the junction box remains accessible if it has screw terminals. A spur to a single socket is allowed from a 32A circuit, even connected directly to the origin in the consumer unit. There is also the question of rcd protection. You have buried a new cable in the wall, so it will need rcd protection. Depending how old the property is, the existing cooker feed may or may not have an rcd. [/QUOTE]
