Hi all
I am looking to renovate the kitchen in the near future and currently have the floor up for plumbing works in the rest of the house. Want to put the kitchen on a separate circuit but am undecided how to proceed. There will be significant time delay between laying on feeds and new wiring in kitchen itself. The BCO are involved as the kitchen was the subject of some building mods recently.
So my thoughts are:
1 Break out kitchen feed from current downstairs ring, wire in old colours as far as kitchen loft to connect to existing circuit via joint boxes. This means that my kitchen ring, on completion, will be in mixed colours, but could almost be argued as "existing" prior to renovation. 2 Run feeds to kitchen loft in new colours and join to existing as far as kitchen loft to connect to existing circuit via joint boxes. This would make the additional circuit more obvious when they come to inspect first fix or final test.Will they really be bothered? Previous inspection of work had formerly been by father-in-law (retired electrician up to current regs and usually involved in job anyway).
Thanks for your thoughts
Phil
