Hi could anyone help with a query that i have.
I have a new conservatory where unfortunately I cannot spur off existing sockets to extend a ring so therefore i need to come off my consumer unit and run in conduit on the outside wall around to the back for a new circuit.
Now my issue is ring main or radial
Within the conservatory there will be 4 double plug sockets and two fused spurs, my electrician advised me to bring the single 2.5mm cable into the conservatory and to the first spur then to the first plug socket then next then next etc etc until finishing at the last spur and that he will fit a 20amp fuse to protect this.
My query is would it actually be easier and better (seeing as i have rcd breakers in my consumer unit of 32's) that i actually install a ring main and then spur the fuses off but go back to the consumer unit off the last double plug socket.
Any advice on the best way appreciated.
