Problem is this is notifiable work, as I am assuming the location is within a kitchen?
So should be notified to building controls, it's a legal requirement.
To cut a long story short, by the time you have paid fees for a diy job, be cheaper to call an electrician.
Why are you running SWA cable?

The C.U is in the hall. I have to drill a hole to feed the cable (SWA) outside, clip it along the side of house. Then drill another hole and feed the cable to the new cooker switch that is located in the kitchen. So i should just call an electrician?????????

have you considered using conduit on the outside wall rather than SWA?
