My ex partner has had a kitchen fitted on the cheap.. The guys ripped out existing wiring, fitted the kitchen minus any circuits.. The board is an old wylex 5 way, (which I have purchased plug in mcb's for)... I'm level 3 2330 trained but don't work in domestic electrics (automatic doors is my game)..
As there's only one spare way I was going to put a 32 ring in minus any cooker feed, as the hob is gas and the oven is 2400w.. washer 1840w, kettle 2400w.. Not ideal but this would be ok, yes? I had another guy look at it and he advised mounting washer and cooker sockets within the cupboards feeding ring circuit through the bottom of the wall (the CU is on the other side of wall) and basically running it around the base of the units and obviously chasing anything above the worktop (3 dble skts and spur for hood)...
What I need to know is, is it normal to come across a ring circuit of which most of it is lying on the floor underneath the units? I was told that, although not desirable and since the kitchen units have been put in already, this is a workable option as cables are effectively encased and inaccessible when the footboards go on..
Apparently there's a lot of kitchens like this.. I'm just a little uneasy having the cable lying there on the floor.. Maybe it's because the only domestic circuits i've done were at college and thus perfect..
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated...Thanks
