Hello People i have just brought a 1930s 3 bed semi and i have taken a look at the electrics here lies the problem, both the lighting ring mains seem fine each on there sperate 5amp fuse but the 30amp power ring main for the sockets is on one ring main, the reason for this is that there are only 1 socket (single) in each room!!
Can i add to these? and if so how many double sockets can i have? and is it ok to have just 1 ring main?
The cooker also has its own 30amp ringmain with 6mm cable i think? its all very strange,
and whats worse one of the light switchs has 4 red cables in the top connector and 2 red cables in the bottom? it isnt a 2way so i cant see why this has been done, i just want to change the old light switch but am scared about how many wires there are? One final note the chunky fuses are the rewirable ones if that helps.
Please help i have a baby daughter and need more sockets and we are fed up wit all the extension leads,
Regards
Eric
