Remedy for daisy chained sockets off ring finals and comments on report.

hertzal123

On doing a condition report,have found the tennant has looped several sockets off the kitchen

and 1st floor ring finals.Since the house is fully decorated and has laminate floors,Ive changed 

the 2 x32A mcbs for 20A.As well as a comment on the report should this attract  a C3 as it is not an ideal situation.

                             Regards,

                                           Hz

    If say a FCU is used on each and every spur that feeds more than one point, it seems entirely compliant to me - so I don't see the need for any comment (provided 13A is suitable for the loads on each spur).

    20A MCB on a ring would similarly be OK if the reduced capacity was still suitable for the loads - if it fed a kitchen as well as half the rest of the house sort of thing I might not be happy with that.  I think the old regs used to suggest 50m2 for a 20A radial rather than 100m2 for a 30A ring - but kitchens/utility rooms and the like can reduce those figures. But if all's well again no comment for me.
