We are about to install a new kitchen. The new kitchen requires a lot of the existing sockets to be moved to new locations.
The current wiring in the kitchen consist of a ring mains for the entire downstairs and a separate radial circuit for an electric cooker.
Now, the cooker that we are buying as part of the new kitchen is gas, so in theory we do not require to have the cooker radial circuit. (Yes we do have a gas supply in the kitchen)
I was thinking of using the radial circuit to power the fridge, freezer and the washing machine, thus taking the load of the downstairs ring mains.
If I were to do this I would have to change the circuit breaker in the cu and then replace the current cooker switch and extend the radial with 2.5mm Twin & Earth to 3 single sockets. Does this sound good and safe?
