When wiring a kitchen: 1. Cooker on its own circuit.
2. Fixed goods ie fridge, cooker hood, dishwasher, etc
3. Sockets
Can 2 and 3 be on a radial together or is it a better idea to have 2 seperate radials
I expect you will have quite a number of sockets and appliances, why not have a 32A 2.5mm kitchen ring? RCD or RCBO protected.
The cooker and freezer should not be RCD protected; the cooker because it will probably have backround earth leakage (unless it is a gas cooker) and the freezer because in the event of an RCD trip you may lose £££ worth of food. As they are not RCD, these circuits should not have acessible sockets on them.
Unless you have a great many power-hungry appliances that will run for extended periods at the same time (dishwasher, tumble-drier, washing machine, electric heaters etc) then you do not need to worry about yet another circuit for them in addition to the general Kitchen circuit.
