Extension radial socket circuit wired in 1.5mm!!??

[Simon_]

I went to visit a customer yesterday who has had an extension built on an existing external bare brick wall a number of years ago and he wants the last socket on the radial circuit in there moving back about half a metre to make room for some fitted wardrobes. Firstly the whole house is on a single 32a breaker for the sockets which is not ideal but fine, but when I removed the front from the socket in the extension the radial was wired in 1.5mm t/e. it's definately 1.5 as the conductor cables look too thin to be 2.5 and also the cable outer sleeving is a white colour which I only know as the low smoke omitting cable used in flats etc. It looks like the radial is spurred off a switched FCU just outside the patio doors in the corridor to the kitchen. I'm having my doubts about this one as spurring off that is ok but the load would be too much on the current cable for sockets.The cables are also buried in bare brick.

just reread the o/p and it does indeed mention the use of an fcu to feed this spur...so i hold my hands up on this one guys...lol....
