I thought this was easy...then I read some of the posts in this forum.
I have just installed a cooker Hood.I want to add a single socket to the ring circuit to run it. I live in a bungalow so I was going to put the socket in the loft directly above it, drill a hole in the ceiling then plug it in (Chimney on cooker hood hides drilled hole) I also thought the socket would come in handy in the loft. I can see the ring main cable in the loft going in & out of a socket in the living room along and the in & out of a socket in the kitchen. I would be adding the 30 amp junction box to run the new socket halfway between these two sockets. And obviously the new socket would then be attached to the wall in the loft close to the newly added junction box.
So my questions are:
1.Does what I'm doing sound correct?
2.Am I breaking any of the new electric building regs?
Thanks In advance
