can i run my new double oven and hob from same feed?

i have a build under double oven and seperate hob(both electric) can i run both from a existant 6mm cable, also could i split 6mm cable behind oven and feed both using a cooker outlet connector both feeds would then run to a double pole switch. also only have a 30amp breaker in consumer unit would this need to be increased.the feed from cu to double pole switch is 6mm. ment to say both appliances are 32amp.

ck it would be to much distruption to put in a new feed back to con/unit. so i guess the answer is no i cant run both from one 6mm feed.

6mm cable encased within an insulated wall is rate 32A.10mm cable is rated 43A.if a 6mm cable is run on the outside of wall exposed then it is said to be rated 46A.10mm is rated 63A.if you are correct with the figure you gave then you are at the top end of the insulatedwall rating so safety would say run 10mm cable or two seperate 6mm.30A breaker will need to be uprated if you fit 10mm cable back to your consumer unit or a new 6mm circuit put in
