Radial circuit

[Danandtilly]

Hello be gentle I'm just starting out and have got 2 new build bungalows to wire. Have run sockets in radial circuit using 2.5 t/e. Have used 100 meters of cable do I need to split the circuits in to 2 as Tables show I can only use 31m maximum. Or should I just make it a ring, have been told different ways and just getting a feeling for the best way thanks Danny

need more info on runs. when you sasy you have used 100m, is that for one bungalow or both? surely yo will have at least 2 socket circuits in each. kitchen is best on a ring because of thehigh loading by appliances

What's the floor area covered?
With 2.5mm², should be no more than 50m² on a radial.

Have not wired kitchen yet .have that on separate circuit. Have 2 bedrooms with 3 sockets lounge with 4 sockets hall with 1 socket . Timber framed property have run cables from where consumer unit will be to bedrooms and have had to run up and down wall and around loft to each socket. Just getting myself confused on cable im using because its linea meters in cable and not sqas in floor area floor area is no more than 50sq m thanks
