Ring circuit question

[Neil73]

Hi, first post.

I was hoping for some advice. I have just brought a property and the electrical side needs updating. I have one ring main for the whole property, so why I am doing up the kitchen I have decided to put a separate ring main in for the kitchen, my issue is what should I do with the existing sockets in the room? should I put a blank faceplate on them? I am not sure how I can separate them from the existing ring main circuit, and utilise them in the new kitchen circuit without causing issues to the existing ring circuit.

Appreciate any advice

He is sayin there is no problem having more than one circuit serving the sockets in the kitchen.
There is an issue of safe isolation where a circuit is denoted as “kitchen sockets” when there are multiple circuits serving the area.
You have to ask yourself what the purpose is for having a separate circuit for the kitchen. If it is to provide load relief because there are high currents bring anticipated then a new circuit may be needed (I would pull out the old ones and have all the kitchen sockets on one circuit).
Otherwise, just extend the existing circuit.

@Neil73 please please: there are several ways of typing some words. You seem to use “too” for everything, and it makes difficult reading!
If you aren’t sure the difference between too, to and two, could you help by using the figure “2” when you mean a quantity in between one and three?
Thank you.

Thanks for the correction Taylor, let's just say that being as the reply was at 23:10 last night it was a typo, rather than not knowing the difference between "to, too and two"

Thanks for all the replies, most have been useful and informative.
As the work is on my house and not a paying customer, I have decided to see if I can remove those existing sockets in the Kitchen if I can and put a single ring circuit in there. However I have a small budget so I am not prepared to rip down the ceiling or anything that extreme. Worst case scenario is that I will have mixture of sockets in the room from the two different ring circuits, and I will produce a laminate drawing detailing the arrangement and leave it next to the consumer unit for future reference.

Oh and lastly any work I carryout will be tested and signed off by a Part P registered electrician, or building inspector.

thanks

My Dad was a technical author, I guess some of it rubbed off on me. Stuff like that hits me in the eye.
