I'm having a new kitchen built in the summer. Its on the opposite side of the house to the external fuse box. I'm thinking that it might be a good idea to have an additional consumer unit in the new utility room. This will mean just running 1 cable from the fuse box to the new consumer unit. I was thinking of running the cable myself and get the electrician to connect it when they build the extension.
I will need
1 ring curcuit for the appliances in the kitchen,
1 ring curcuit for the appliances in the utility,
1 lighting ring for the kitchen,
1 lighting ring for the utility,
Separate connection for the cooker and hob.
Can someone tell me what size cable I need so I can get the boards up and get the cable through?
The new consumer unit will be a couple of metres from the gas meter( but I want to get the gas meter moved)
Is it best to leave the gas meter there for earth bonding or will the sparky just connect up the earth cable at the other end in the original fuse box?
I need to find out so that I can plan having the gas meter moved .
