Edit: I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I WAS LOOKING AT AN OLD POST
Hello, first post!
Im redoing my kitchen, and along with this would like to tidy up the bodged wiring and add a socket.
Here is a current diagram of how it looks, the orange lines is the ring circuit T&E.
I would like to replace all cable apart from the one that is adjoining connected to the Consumer unit. Add a new 1Gang socket, and put cables in safe zones. How does this look, in terms of conforming to the regs.
The cables above the worktops are chased in plaster and the ones below are tacked to the wall behind the kitchen base units.
If I read correctly, the work that i propose is non-notifiable and possible by a DIYer since the 2013 Part P changes. Can you confirm?
Here is some pictures of how I found it, for context. This is the left side of the diagram:
This is half of the right side of the diagram.
Many thanks.

Nevertheless, with regard to a recent post, this -
is a perfect example of a totally pointless ring final circuit.

It's difficult to disagree with that. As I see it, the only possible advantage is the CPC redundancy, and that is at least partially cancelled by the 'risk' of an unnoticed break in the L and/or N rings.
Kind Regards, John

I'm confused. Are they points or sockets?

Let's just call them pockets, or soints, or something....

I'm surprised noone has suggested putting a socket under the window, thus making the cabling on that wall inside a safe zone if it were buried.
One can never have too many sockets (in my opinion) and the extra one is bound to come in useful at some point.

Good point.
Oh, I misunderstood. I must have missed his post.
