Don't use ring circuits when rewiring now. 20a radials in 2.5 for living/bedrooms and 32a 4mm in kitchens. With appliances on their own radials as required. Easier to wire and easier to test. I'm surprised the regs haven't got rid of them by now.

I (touch wood) have never needed to test my PL insurance, but I wonder how many would have done a cable check for putting a fence up in your own garden. Yes look at where the fusebox is but an 11K cable !
