Hi,
Need a bit of advice with regards to my kitchen rewire -
Currently my 2 bed flat has only 1 30amp ring main, and one 30amp cooker circuit (and light circuit of course).
I've had about 5 different guys in to quote for installing additional sockets for integrated appliances, adding a power supply for an extractor and adding some additional sockets along the worktop length etc. I intend to use the cooker circuit for an induction hob and the ring main for everything else.
3/5 have said fine, no problems. 2/5 have said that I really need to install a new circuit exclusively for the kitchen - only problem with this is that I've got solid concrete floors so that will probably be a tricky and expensive job.
I appreciate that in a new build you'd have separate circuits for everything, but in an older, 2 bed flat like mine, is it worth installing the additional circuit?
Any comments much appreciated.
Thanks
