Hi all, just looking for some advice and hopefully a consensus. Im not 17th edition but quite competent. Doing my own rewire to a high standard and then getting a fully qualified aquaintence to sign it all off. At the moment though, everyone is off on holiday and before I start I have a burning question .......
I will be doing a separate ring for the kitchen as we all know its advisable, however the rest of my downstairs is only a few sockets, is it ok to put the rest of the downstairs sockets and upstairs on one ring, then keep the kitchen on one of its own? Seems silly to have three rings when I've only got a small three bed mid terrace!
Then the main question is in the kitchen, I will have an extractor hood, single electric oven all singing and dancing modern one (no hob as its gas) and a boiler. I dont have the original box with the ratings for the oven by the way. I imagine it would be a bit of a load to shove it all on fused boxes on the same ring?
Instead I was thinking of having the extractor which is hardly any load on the ring on a fused box, then the combi condensing boiler and the single oven on a 45a+ radial. Please correct me if this needs some re-thinking?
I know you would usually just have an oven on a 45a radial but thats double ovens with hobs. Im no plumber, so does anyone know roughly the load a boiler has on a circuit? It seems silly to have a kitchen ring, radial for the oven and a separate one for the boiler? Or what about if you think the oven still needs a separate radial, having the combi boiler on the ring with the extractor and the oven on its own radial?
I've tried searching the web, but there are so many conflicting opinions that its enough to confuse anyone ...
Hopefully someone more qaulified/experienced can help? Thanks in advance.
