Bought a 1950s ex council house with concrete downstairs floors. Three rooms downstairs, kitchen, living room and hallway.
Kitchen will have its own socket circuit, but the living room and hall will share a circuit with upstairs. It seems wasteful to run two cables down to each socket in the living room.
Which brings to mind having the downstairs sockets as spurs from sockets directly above.
But in a couple of locations in the living room I'll want two doubĺe sockets for AV equipment. Which rules out spurs. So a radial?
There are three bedrooms so for the four rooms and hallway we'd ideally need a 32A circuit, so 4mm would be required for a radial. Would voltage drop be an issue? Could the extra length of 2.5mm actually be cheaper than the shorter length of 4mm cable?
Obviously not me doing the design or install, just batting ideas about.
