Two ways of doing it - have a stand-alone breaker dedicated for the oven or replace the fusebox for one with more capacity.
If you go for a separate breaker, a second set of connections will be required from the meter.
If a new fusebox is installed, the existing connections from the meter will need to be re-connected. Hence the need for involvement from the supplier of someone authorised on their behalf to break the main fuse seals etc.
Connecting a cooker etc. to an existing supply can still be done by yourself but it is always best to get it done professionally. You do not need the consent of the supplier to have your consumer unit altered or add a fusebox but they can refuse to connect it if it does not comply with regulations and you can be charged if you overload the supply and blow their fuse. You still need to inform building control before starting work.
The connection is also often done live but can be highly dangerous and must be done professionally. Most like me, have done this countless times when we can't wait half the day for the man from the board to arrive to pull the fuse so that we can then start work without power and then wait the rest of the day for him to come back to put it back in.
I had a system that was reasonably safe but the times I had my head in someones understairs cupboard doing live connecting while children ran passed and sometimes bumped into me did make me sweat a bit.
"Yes your honour I knew it was dangerous but this was just another extreme sport, will my eyebrows grow back soon"?
