Thoughts on this new circuit design? anything wrong with this

So what I see is 5A sockets being placed beside some of the 13A…. All from a 20A RCBO.

I presume there’s no neutral at the existing switch, hence the need for the 5A FCU… so two circuits in the switch? (Make sure it’s noted, even a warning sticker inside the back box??)


You’ll need to also be aware of safe zones for cable runs.
Being DIY, have you worked with electrics before?

That's right, it's a living room and load is expected to be low but the number of sockets is just to allow for moving things around in different places of the room. The 5A sockets are all fed through the 5A FCU
Two circuits in the switch, yes, and a sticker in the back box is planned. There's no neutral or even CPC in the existing light switch so the new lighting sockets can't be taken off the existing lighting circuit.
Thanks for your response

Just seen your edit. Yes I'm confident with electrics and in ensuring everything is compliant with the 18th edition wiring regulations but was just wondering whether this design was seen as bad practice

No cpc on lights? So it’s an old house.

I hope there’s no metal fittings or switches on the existing lighting circuit. (They won’t be earthed and can be dangerous if there’s a fault)

No problem with a 20A radial for a room. They’ll be nothing of high power unless you try plugging in an electric fire or an iron.
You’ve got RCD protection covered by using an RCBO.
