Wiring for small water heater and underfloor heating

[Geoff1946]

Other option is a plinth heater, fits in kick boards under the kitchen cupboards.

Which could also be run from your wet central heating system; Much cheaper running than an electric heater.

Not seen wet versions, but sounds like a good idea.

Thanks ProDave - hoped it was something like that. Not a problem then.

Binky - thanks for the plinth heater suggestion.

The new ring circuit I'm suggesting could therefore instead feed a plinth heater of similar power to the UFH. So, again going back to the original question / scenario, does that proposed new circuit seem a sensible option? Seems fine to me, but as said before, I may be missing something.

can't go wrong with more circuits, more the merrier, it means a simple fault on your ring circuit affects less things and is easier to fault find.

why a ring and not a 4mm2 T&E radial? on 25A MCB then a two 13A SFCU one for each (the UFH and the water heater)

Thanks Binky and Poni - reckon I'm all there now, with some good options to go with. Just need to convince the wife that electric UFH is probably not the way to go!

Thanks all for your valued input - much appreciated.
