[QUOTE="Retired, post: 447444, member: 29075"] Hi, Thank you Doc H for your excellent and informative reply. Bron and I have lived here for 30 years; the bungalow being built in 1964. It is as you describe very possible this socket was installed for a specific reason; my first thought was for tradespeople to plug their saw etc into during construction? You are also bang on regarding correct identification; I installed the current CU 25 years ago to replace a number of old style fuse boxes; I'm guilty of not marking the CU apart from the lights and garage; what you say though is so blindingly obvious once pointed out; simply identify clearly removing all doubt; this is what I'm now doing and I'm checking all the circuits; the bathroom fan heater is connected as a spur to the cooker circuit? and there is a shaver outlet I need to trace; I want to ensure our electrics are safe and this time I'll also correctly identify everything. The lighting circuit is fine as it is. For power three ring circuits will be ideal; Garage/workshop; main bungalow and a new ring for the kitchen/bathroom; with only the two of us demand on electricity isn't large. Kind regards, Colin.
