Answer 3

You will need 2.5mm T&E for the ring main & 1.0 or1.5 T&E for the lighting circuit

Answer 4

If your in the uk laws brought in in April 07 make it illegal for you to do your own electric this is called Part P of the Building Regulations Act

In any case ring mains (sockets) are 2.5mm lights are either 1.0 or 1.5mm depending on the size of the ciruit

6.0 - 10.0 for showers & cookers depending on the kw size of the appliance and distance from the electricity box

Answer 5

If u r in the uk I think you'll find the new P regs forbids you from doing any electrical work in a kitchen & you will need an electrician.

Answer 6

And 6mm for the cooker circuit
