Hi All
I will shortly be installing a new kitchen which will consist of the existing kitchen and dining room.
At present there is one socket with the cooker isolator and one double socket on the partition wall which is to come down, Oh and one socket underneath an old metal waste pipe which has been hacked off and leaks! (for the washing machine)
I intend to install new lighting, both ceiling, under unit and floor and also lighting to the garden and also power sockets and spurs for dishwasher, fridge / freezer, washing machine etc.
Currently there is an old fuse board with just one ring for up and one for down.
I'm contemplating taking the ceiling down in the old kitchen and dining room to get a better finish where we are taking out walls and cupboards.
SO, would you advice installing a dedicated ring for the kitchen whilst the ceiling is down?
Also, is it good practice to install a ring for appliances and also one for sockets?
One other thing, I've been told conflicting things about intergrated appliances. One person told me that all you need is a socket? but I was under the impression that the socket should be taken from an accessable fused spur.
