Hi there, been scouring this forum for weeks now, some good advice been giving out, anyway here is my question/dilemma to you guys. I have 1 30A ring main serving my flat and 1 30A separate cooker line, I would like to extend the ring main to my kitchen, at present I have 1 double socket entering my kitchen on the ring with what looks like 1 double spur of that then another double spur of the latter (these will be replaced with what i propose below), now according to what i have read on this forum this shouldn't be (and I have had it like this for 7 years) What i propose to do is tap into the ring from this lone socket ( from which i will be doing away with ie: this will only be the join with blanking plate over) go round the room installing 3 single sockets, 1 double socket, and a fcu for 1 light under wall cupboard. The cooker line I would like to wire a hob rating 6.2kw & an oven rating 2.3kw I also have a cooker hood (don't know rating of this) i know that my oven would simply just plug in and probably the cooker hood as well but that would mean introducing another double socket on the ring main (maybe possible) but will have to see what you guys think.
So guys is this all possible
also I know it would be better to install a separate ring for kitchen but not convenient in this case as it is concrete floor and would mean ripping up laminate flooring.
Thanks in advance
