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

    Did anybody say C2?

    It all depends upon what is likely to be plugged in. You wouldn't want a washing machine, tumble drier, and dishwasher all on a 2.5 sqmm spur although I must admit that diversity might well take care of an overload.

    It has to be at least a C3 for non-compliance, so what is the recommended improvement? A downgrade of the MCB hardly costs much - a few minutes labour and a fiver for each MCB. Only a Yorkshireman would baulk at the cost.

    Going back to the OP, if you make a recommendation, that's a C3; but if you put it into effect, that's nothing at all.
