We are having a new kitchen being installed now. The old electrics were a mess with spurs off spurs.
I asked the electrician to remedy this by putting a ring main in the kitchen. This he has done but the ring is fed from a spur from the ceiling to a double socket which branches off to the ring. There are 3 double sockets and a spur off this ring, the latter for the dishwasher.
I assume that the spur comes from the existing down stairs ring in the ceiling.
I had expected for the existing down stairs ring to be extended but that is not the case.
Is the spur feeding a ring acceptable?
Should the spur be fused?
Thanks for any advice.
