Hi guys started a thread recently about my house rewire which im starting soon but i still have some issues,

as ive said in the past i very rarely do domestic work so thats the reason im asking but here goes...

im just after a bit of info and reassurance on kitchen circuits im getting an electric cooker and hob and will be putting both on the same circuit obviously calculated but the reason being the one isolator and saves having the oven on the kitchen ring.

my freezer is going in the utility room and im happy for that to be on the downstairs RFC not the kitchen one but the kitchen RFC will have the hood, fridge and washing machine and the general sockets above the worktops on it which i think is fine.

Also i know its a recommendation to have spurs above the washing machine and fridge for easy isolation rather than having to pull the equipment out to unplug it but not very good looking to have spurs in your kitchen IMO

Just looking for reassurance or feedback or alternatives and will be greatly appreciated

just an after thought here, I have seen this grid method done but i thought that the cable feeding a spur from a ring could not be any longer than 1 8th the length of the ring? i'm sure i have read that somewhere

never heard of that one mate perhaps its a recommendation??,

well the one spur will be directly near the grid and the other say a max 5m run over will both be going to single sockets with a max draw of 13A from each plugtop
