Electrical supply to extension

Hi
I am trying to save a few quid and do a lot of the work myself. I am not a noob but would like some advice.
At present I have a 10mm supply coming in from the consumer unit in garage which was converted by a qualified electrician. It is round my ex partners house so without checking I assume it is off a 32 amp breaker. It is just a single wire which is obviously isolated. I want to install a ring main of 6 sockets and a separate radial supply for an electric cooker. Cooker will be a built in one, separate gas hob. I cant find rating of any to buy yet, I am right to guess at 2-3kw ?
So how do you go about it. Do I need to install a separate consumer unit in garage for the 2 circuits ?
I do understand that all work has to be certified and I would not make the final connection.
Thanks for any advice.

As you're intending to do the work yourself the first step would be to find and electrician. One who will test your work and then sign the Part P paperwork, at a cost cheaper than doing it yourself.0

Sounds like a strange setup. Why not just run the new ring back to the consumer unit?0
