Hi All,
I am looking for some advice on how best to wire a ground floor extension.
Previously there was conservatory which had sockets installed that were spurred off the dining room sockets under the floor. when i removed the conservatory, i removed the sockets and wiring..
Now the new extension is up, i need to run new sockets and lighting, but i am wondering how best to do this. I am not going to do all this myself as building regs says it needs to be Part P signed off, but i can atleast do the dirty work of running cables / conduit and setting up socket locations.
So should i just run the cables back in a ring main extension and feed from and back to the existing sockets in the dining room, or should i run a whole new circuit from the CU to the extension.
The extension will include kitchen appliances such as dishwasher as i am extending the kitchen into this new extension.
Any thoughts on how i should start to set out the electrics?
New ring main from consumer unit or extend dining room (downstairs sockets) into the extension?
Many Thanks
Jason
