Hi all,
I'm busy re-fitting a kitchen, and I'm now at the stage where I need some wiring done. I've got an oven power supply - looks like 6mm cable, and I've got three sockets, one of which shares the same supply as the oven, the other two sockets were found plastered in the wall (live of course!).
All of the cabling for the wall sockets in the house is accessible through a crawl space, so I can see that all of the standard sockets are a in striaght forward ring. The oven supply wire is a single run straight from the fuse box.
Does this sound like a straightforward scenario to replace the sockets on the ring with new ones in new positions, and moving the oven (basically shortening the cable)?
What would I need to do if I wanted to this on a DIY basis legally?
Is the legal position affected by the fact there is currently no sink or other open water fittings in this kitchen? (technicality I know!)
Thanks,
Russ
