[QUOTE="NozSpark, post: 182486, member: 601"] Personally whenever I rewire a kitchen I pretty much always wire it as it's own circuit and remove all previous socket circuits. This can either be wired back to it's own CU or to a replacement CU, whichever fits the clients budget (assuming the current CU is not a viable option).. also the bonds to water and gas would probably need updating... As for fitting a replacment cu in the space you have, you are probably going to be limited to a RCBO board, but if you can do away with that shelf above then you will have more options. re. the lighting circuit, if it has no earth (CPC) then you should really look at getting it rewired... using RCD protection and class II fittings only is not the best solution [/QUOTE]
