Whole Kitchen wiring diagram advice (excluding lights)

[benhurr]

Hi everyone,
please advice and comment on the attached wiring diagram for a kitchen.
There are mixed opinions on the need for FSU-s and number of circuits required.
Distance to cu – 8m running under timber floor. kitchen size – 3.5M X 2.5M

You have a lot of fairly high power appliances on one ring there. I would definitely makes some changes to that arrangement.

I did some amendments: split in 2 rings (top sockets and appliances separately from bottom ones) and split hob and cooker

Out of interest are you designing, installing and certifying this work yourself or will someone else be involved?

Someone else, but he already disagrees with you regarding the splitting of the ring c.
So

"Out of interest"

3rd opinion is always welcome. (4th as well))

sockets were upside down, otherwise any other worries?

Not sure your sparky is going to be too keen on you changing his design?

4th opinion from Screwfix forum: 2 rings not necessary, only recommended separate circuit for hot tap. He also thinks hob and oven can be together. Basically he is partially agrees with my local el-cian ( agrees on 1rc , but disagrees on oven/hob separation).
3 elcians – 3 different opinions

Personally I'd get another electrician to give you a quote and see what their opinion is.

Personally no, I wouldn't change my mind. But I'm only one person.

Hopefully some other members will give their opinion on your original arrangement.

To be honest, that's a very poorly designed system both practically and technically.

so the ring is being split in 2 and your still find it original? I can see, some suggest putting boiler on separate C, and frfreezer on separate C. This way I will run out of space in CU pretty soon.

You were still saying people were disagreeing with my opinion though.

You really need a proper sparky to design this rather than tinkering with stuff yourself. There's no shame in knowing your limitations.
