Hello,
I need to rewire my kitchen and utility.... I need to run the usual services Kettle, dishwasher, tumble, washing machine and sockets etc but also the possibility of two electric ovens.
The only real access I have to run any cables back to the main board is really getting a bit crowded with gas pipes and other wiring / central heating pipes etc ( everything crosses along and down a very small corridor). Is the crowding a problem? I'm also conscious of drilling too many holes in the joists!
Instead of running multiple cables can I instead run one 16mm twin and earth cable and have a second consumer unit in the utility and rewire a ring main and some lighting from there?
Will I be able to run the ovens from this second board?
p.s there is a 10mm cable from a soon to be redundant electric shower that I could really easily use for this run but I assume this won't be big enough if we go for electric ovens?
TIA
