Hi guys,
I'm renovating a 1920s 2 bed mid terrace I've just bought and I'm currently in the process of stripping everything to bare and I am planning on replacing all plumbing and electrics whilst I have opportunity
By trade I am a maintenance engineer in the food industry (mechanical bias but also electrical). I've not really done any domestic electrical work apart from minor things such as replacing fans, lights and sockets.
I am getting someone to test and sign off after I've done the work but just wanted to check a few things really before cracking on. I have done my 18th edition a while ago for my previous employer, but it was more of a tick box thing for them, rather than actually using the reg book (I don't own the regs book).
Could someone with a bit more domestic experience check over what I'm planning on doing with my circuits.
1 - lighting up and down, 6a RCBO 1.5mm radial
2 - Sockets up and down, excluding kitchen, 32a RCBO 2.5mm ring
3 - Kitchen sockets including appliances - 32a RCBO 2.5mm ring
4 - Cooker 16a RCBO 10mm radial
5 - Shower 40a RCBO 10mm radial
Does this make sense? Would the circuits be better separated more? All cables will either be in conduit in plaster or under floor boards. Advice welcome.
TIA
