The job is sockets changed in the kitchen and a new CU with upgraded earthing and bonding in a smallish three bed semi. The current installation is in very good condition and basically the outlets side of things are broken down as :-
The integral garage will become the utility room (washing machine, tumble drier, ironing point). The new kitchen layout will have four double sockets above counter with one fused spur for a dishwasher. The hob is gas, and the oven has a separate 6mm radial.
Most of the 'normal' kitchen loads are going onto the utility ring, so given that the kitchen has so few sockets I'm tempted to save them the cost of pulling a new ring for that and keeping it as one ground floor ring for living room and kitchen. So eight double sockets and one fused spur. What're your thoughts?
- Ring for garage.
- Ground floor ring (four doubles in living room, and a single in the hall) also includes the current kitchen.
- First floor ring.
