Inexperienced in house rewires. Guidance needed.

good question with them boilers. i`ve always been told to run a separate 2.5 for them...
wonder why, as the thing takes max 3amps mainly for control gear.

Tis not a zone mate no zone from floor

My bad!! Just checked while you were posting!! I don't know why I thought it was!!!

Spoken to and worked with many fitters, plumbers, plasters, builders, etc etc and hardly any of them (in fact none) know or care what or where "safe zones" are....however, they are what they are and must be complied with.:laugh:

I would personally run a ring to the kitchen
radial to lounge
2 radials upstairs
circuit for heating
etc etc

Id say put boiler on separate, JUST because if say you get an issue with your lights.. and it trips breaker then house dosent go cold along as its on the other RCD

Safe zones are secret places known only to electricians
So please shhh speak quietly please, by mentioning them openly, other trades may get to know their whereabouts

Spured off lighting circuit, are you sure?

Another couple...

1. Is it okay to have trailing sockets behind the plinths on cupboards for fridges, dishwashers, etc.?
2. Must hidden sockets for the likes of the above be on spurs for each item?

Thanks again.

OK till the washing machine pi$$es out over them and your house is plunged into darkness.
