The kitchen has a galley layout and our new gas hob and oven only need a 13a supply. I'm wondering if I should run both sides of the kitchen on 2 radial circuits on 2 20A rcd protected mcbs at cu rather than a 32a ring Is there any issues with this? Left side has: under counter freezer...

Our central heating boiler is on the back wall of the house. The pipework enters the house in 2 places. Just below ground level and under the floor to rads and underfloor on the 1st floor to HW storage tank. As the pipework is coming in from outside does it have to be bonded back to the MET...

I ran all wiring for 10 light fittings in a large room back to a single point (on the ceiling joist above the switch location) as I couldn't decide how to split them and thought it would give more flexibility if something changed. I have the lighting cct going in and out of a 20A 4W JB and...

Are there any issues with putting a 'service' socket tight against the side of the CU and wiring it through a cutout in the side of the CU? All my cct cables will be going in the bottom of the CU hidden in trunking and I didn't want to have to clip a bit of T&E to the board. I'm fussy like...

Is it bad practice for a 3A supply for a boiler and a 13A supply for a 3KW domestic immersion to be on the same RCD protected 16A MCB? If ok would it then be advisable to fit a 20A DP switch to the immersion so it could be fully insulated if a fault arose and then the boiler could still...

Is it wrong to run a 2.5mm t&e spur off of the RCD protected downstairs ring to supply a shower pump on the first floor? It would be easier for me at this point but I'm not sure it would be 'good practice'. ie a circuit downstairs feeding something upstairs? Thanks.
