He also said that the 40 mcb for the cooker should be changed to a 32. As I understand it the principal of diversity could be applied so that could be ok but would a 40 mcb with a 6mm cable over a 7 or 8 metre run be dangerous clipped direct not in insulation?
It is just a standard cooker grill, oven and 4 rings.
I think you could be right about scaring the tenant as the things he has said do not make sense to me or a lot of other people.My gut reaction is that this person is trying to create extra work for themselves by scaring the tenant.

Definitely says he is an electrician, his web site says he does all types of work not just domestic, but industrial and commercial.Tell him to have a look in Appendix F of his on site guide and get back to you.
Is this guy definitely and electrician and not just an appliance installation guy from a electrical appliance retailer?

I think its no secret that sparkies like to slag each other off , and this place exasperates that quite a bit I suppose. Its very easy for it to turn into a circle jerk when the guy in question is not here to defend himself.without thinking of 4 pages (soon to be 5) of consequences on a thread on an electrical forum.
that's sparkychick's patch.South Wales near Swansea
To be fair, most (electricians) might think (off the top of ones head),
6mm = 32A supply
10mm = 40/45A supply.

Well there is no such thing as part P approved, so that is another thing he has got wrong.
Part P is a building regulation, that is all.
Really? So most electricians are wrong. Does not give one confidence.
4 mm 32 amp supply.
6mm 40 amp supply.
10 mm used to supply a whole house.
