Guys, looking for a little advice from someone with more experience regarding wiring this ring main.
I am re-wiring a full house, which has a new extension built onto the back of it. The extension has two rooms, a Livingston and bedroom. So, I have wired the old part of the house in 2.5mm for the sockets as it's a ring main and doesn't exceed 100m2.
In the new extension, I'm debating if I should wire the rings main in 2.5mm or 4.0mm. I have uploaded a picture with the details of the cable route and the position of the sockets.
Red dots are double sockets,
Blue is the route the cables are taking.
With the regards to the amount of sockets, this is what they are wanting.
I was thinking 2.5mm would do because it doesn't actually exceed 100m2, but was looking for a second opinion. All cables are ran under the house, so it's pretty cool under there temperature wise, though when the cable goes behind the wall, it passes between insulation.
cheers.
