Thank you davy_owen_88 and didthathurt for your help.

OK, two more questions to really set my mind at ease. If i want to add a few more sockets in the dinning room, can i run a new cable from an existing socket and add a spur (the dinning room sockets are fed by the 30amp 'power ring')? If i want to add more sockets in the lounge, can i create...

OK, thanks for all the help so far. It makes me more at ease regards the 'power lounge & dinning' circuit and that more sockets can be added safely. I am still a little concerned by the 'power ring'. In an ideal world i assume that all the circuits in the lounge and dinning room should be on the...

Sorry, i have confused the situation. The 'power lounge & dinning' 15amp fuse only serves one double socket in the lounge. And i assume this is a radial circuit as it only has one wire to it. Can i also assume that further sockets can be added to this? Yes i do have a mulitmeter with...

No problems, none of the fuses have ever blown, but we are going to decorate and could do with some further double sockets added. So i am curious as to why there is only one socket on the fuse and wondering if more sockets can be added safely!! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ no all the...

Thanks for the propmt reply. Can the power ring be a radial circuit?? From looking at the site, i thought a 30amp fuse meant it should come back to the CU?

In the CU i have a 30amp fused marked ring power. This feeds 2 double sockets in the lounge, 2 doubles in the dinning room and all the sockets...

Thanks gazthepottertonengineer, i think that we would like to run it in the Summer. Could you advise the best way to do it? I have a Potterton Suprema HE boiler and i can see a silver box with Y Plan on it near the pump. The hot water tank has a pipe into the top, a middle pipe that goes to the...

Thanks meldrew's_mate, but that sounds a little complcated for me. If you where to choose one, which would you go for?

We have had a new boiler and hot water tank fitted. We now want to install a heated towel rail in our bathroom, but should it go on the HW or CH circuit? I can see the benefits of both, but which is the best?
