going to install an mk grid system (6 way) for a kitchen. The kitchen has 4 double sockets, 2 ovens, fridge, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and an extractor. What are peoples opinions on best way to wire this? Would you have a seperate circuit for the grid, looping the feeds at the back of the switch, or would you incorporate it all on the kitchen ring. I haven't been given any of the specs for the appliances, only been given a layout and said they don't want fused spurs all over the walls.

Any opinions or alternatives appreciated.
 
I guess it would depend on amount of switched feeds. I go for an easy life and make it a dedicated circuit for the grid.
I once had a new build block of flats that everything in the kitchen was required from a panel grid switch, now that was a busy backbox. I think i had five incoming circuits and 12 outgoing feeds. It started off dressing all planned in the back but still looked pants in the end. I don't envy any sparks trying to work out what went where even after it all was labeled. The 10mm for the cooker took most of it up.

I always find that a crow bar and lump hammer helps to get the front plate on!
