garage getting converted to a kitchen, best way of doing it? 6mm t+e from original cu on a 32amp mcb , up the wall in trunking thru the loft to garage (garage connected to house) to a 4 way board, mains switch 32amp radial for sockets 4mm, 6amp radial for lights. Is this ok?

NO!!!
There seems to be a trend on here that if your are having a new conservatory or kitchen fitted that you MUST run in a new sub main and board etc????
WHY ???
 
Because they MUST have the magic RCD in EVERY case.

Trev, I think it is more a case of they don't know How to work with what they have already got! Ie extend lighting circuits install new sockets from existing board as Mike suggested earlier!!. It takes less thinking about to just whack a new sub board on.
