Hi,
I am new to this forum but I have a few questions which I am hoping I can get the answers from.
If you put a new ring main into an old kitchen (where there is no power at all) can the sockets supplying the appliances under the work top be part of the ring main or do they 'have' to be separate spurs/fused spurs off the ring?
Can cables be routed along the skirting board level (150mm from the floor) and just venture vertically at points where the sockets are to be relocated? I realised they can be routed within 150mm from the ceiling or adjoining walls but it states nothing (that I can read) about routing 150mm from the floor?
The final question I have is about the cooker cable/switch. If you have the cable at the cooker switch is it acceptable for the cable from the cooker switch going to the cooker connection unit to be routed similar to an 'L' configuration? What I am trying to say is if it was run just vertically then the switch would be above the hob therefore this is unaccetable therefore the switch would need to be to the right or left of the hob therefore requiring the cable to be routed in the 'L' pattern.
Sorry to go on but I hope you understand the questions
I look forward to your help.
