Thanks for hashing this of guys. Is there a common concensus in the simplest way that's both safe and within regs?

Thank you. That all makes sense now.

And that would still be OK with two ovens running? Would it need two spurs or would two sockets on a single run of 2.5mm be OK?

I thought the fuse protected the flex, not the T&E? Wouldn't I need FCUs to make sure the 2.5mm doesn't overload and the 32 MCB not trip? (Talking to meet regs, I wouldn't be plugging anything other than the two ovens in.)

Why not?

I mean to extend I would have to run 2.5mm to the new position, a two single sockets then run back to rejoin the original circuit...is that not right?

...or could I spur off cooker circuit in 2.5mm and plug one into a socket on that and the other on the main ring where there's already one socket in almost the right position?

No hob. That's gas. That's what i was thinking. The cooker circuit is on a 32A breaker. The current outlet is in the wrong position, would there be a problem extending with 2.5mm loop and adding the soclets to that of necessary?

Hi all. I'm redoing our kitchen and have two electric ovens which don't require electrician fitting as they're pre-fitted with 13amp plugs. The question is, should I add another socket to the ring (only 1 available in the right area) or, would be be advisable to use the existing cooker circuit...
