My kitchen is an old victorian one, units both sides access straight down the middle.
I have a double socket on the window side and a double socket on the wall side. Also on the wall side is a switched fused spur for the combi-boiler and timer unit. The house has one 32A MCB sockets circuit.
There is also a separate CCU with socket from which I am removing the socket outlet.
I need to provide power to
1/ A washing machine currently on a 13A into one of the sockets, which I plan on putting on a fused spur.
2/ A fridge freezer currently on a 13A into one of the sockets, which I plan on putting on a fused spur.
3/ An electric oven, new install (2.8kW), which I plan on putting on a fused spur.
4/ A cooker hood, new install (120W), which I plan on putting on a fused spur.
I intend to retain the two double sockets.
I was intending to break into the ring main and wire from socket to fused spur etc. maintaining all accessories in the ring circuit.
Unfortunately, the window socket seems to be a spur. As the wall socket has only two wires in it, I am guessing it is also a spur.
Under the circumstances, if the rest of the socket circuit is a ring, is it acceptable to make one long spur with the above items for the kitchen?
I could trace all the wiring but will have to dismantle quite a lot of stuff.
The wiring was apparrently done to 16th edition.
