Hi Andy There is no reason why can not run 2 cooker points of the same 6mm cable, joing them together may be tricky due to the size of the cable and terminals "This would get around the 2 meter rule". (i would bet that there is lots of kitchen's installed with more than 4 meters of trailing...

Hi m8 The regs say you must be no more than 2 meters away, why do you need 4 meters of cable?

A 32 amp is usually ok for household cookers of ratings up to 15kw. A circuit between 15 amps and not higher than 50 amps may supply 2 or more cooking appliances within the same room, the contol switch must be not more than 2 meters away from the appliences (use comon sense for the location)...

Hi The advantage of a final circuit is that if there was a break in the ring it would still be earthed through the other side, but if you then get a break some else in the ring, there may be no protective earth on some sockets, if it can't be fixed, you could divide the ring main into 2 radial...

As far a part p is concerned (you fitted the alarm in december 2004) Don't worry about that. Fit a wired alarms system (eg ade accenta or a texecom) i have fitted a few wirless ones and found probloms, stick to what works, it will save time and money in the long run. Onesongrg

I agree but you can see that it is not easy for someone to decide weather it falls under part p or not, it is not black or white , what should you do guess? Onesongrg
