New member introduction

[hba]

Hi all, a new member/Old DIYer here to ask a question. I've done some of my own home installation in the past but the biggest was installing a storage heater ringmain on a new consumer unit. I have one simple question to ask and later another not so simple, both of which are really asking whether a required change would comply with the ever-changing regs.

Ask the questions, HBA.
But can I ask why you put storage heaters on a ring and not individual radials circuit for each heater?

Now you mention it, I see that there is one fuse per heater. I'm now doubting my memory of doing the wiring myself, but I must have as I remember getting the electricity board to test and connect the new consumer unit tails. This is well over 30 years ago! My first question (unrelated to the above) is in the DIY forum.

B&Q sell paint and garden plants mate.

they also include comprehensive installation instructions. e.g. a rool of turf has a leaflet attached. "green side up".

So if I buy all my materials from B&Q and read all their instructions, then I won't need any advice from here?
