We are in the process of doing a loft conversion and have come to the electrics part of the job. My husband has decided to put in a new circuit for the loft - which shouldn\\\'t present any problems. However, before undertaking this, he decided to put in a Consumer Unit replacing the fuse box which was already there. My father has worked with electrics a great deal in the past and has some professional knowledge as well as a vast amount of diy experience and he has been helping. They have been looking at the main circuit our house sockets are on - yes, upstairs and downstairs all on the same main circuit. This only has one wire going in to it and so is presumed to be a radial circuit. My father wants to convert this to a ring. This would presumably involve finding the last and the first socket and an extremely laborious process. Is this the right way to go? Rewiring the house would take, probably, weeks and involve lifting solid wood flooring which is not easily lifted. Any advice would be much appreciated. We have another circuit, which appears to be a ring, and a problem on that but I will post separately about that when I have a moment. Thanks.
