Sounds like he used a SWA cable to feed the cooker (thick black shielded power cable from fuse box to cooker).
Unusual, wonder why?

You guys are worse than a sewing circle. There might be nothing wrong with the installation and the certificates might arrive as promised.

Marvo you are, of course, right but is it not wise for the op to check to see whether this guy is a member of a CPS?

Agreed or she should definitely follow up and get the certificates at least.

My worry was she'll be too busy because she's looking for alternative accommodation after reading the thread.

One thing you could do, to put your mind at rest, is google the "competent persons" website, and look up the individual who did the electrics. Such work in a kitchen is covered by Part P and the individual is required to be registered with a scheme.

if he's had a part p'er in then he should worry..

Its all supposition
Someone has come on here to check on the cost, they are clueless about electrical installation
Their description could paint a picasso as a childs scribble or a childs scribble as a picasso

I defer judgement until photographic evidence is submitted m'lord
