New kitchen does it need own fusebox or change just the mains fusebox?

My worry is, that we bought an expensive fridge cooker and washing machine and this may invalidate the warranty???

It won't and it's good practice.

Edit: I should add that, if I've read your post correctly, your electrician is ensuring that a fault with one appliance won't affect power supply to any other.

I read in some forums that people read in the manual that it invalidates warranty

Connection should be via a fused connection unit, incorporating the same fuse rating as the plug that was cut off, but otherwise, no.

Think of it another way and forget about what manuals might state...

If you damaged an appliance flex and had it replaced, would you expect this to void the warranty? Consumer law would not be on the manufacturer's side, should they reject a claim under such circumstances.

It won't invalidate warranty if done correctly......but why hard wire appliances if they come with a 13a plug connected? If you have problems with them it just creates more.
Is he talking about FCU's at worktop height with sockets below?

Hard wire down to a socket at low level.....for plugging in the appliance, as a rule.
