TMH's daughter got three.

Oven, hob and fridge freezer.

Do you need separate radials for oven and hob, rather than one suitably
rated for both?


ISTR that the oven specified a 16A or 20A MCB.

TBH in the grand scale of a rewire an extra 12m of 2.5 T&E, a 20A DP
switch and a RCBO is not a lot of money or extra work.

With all these separate circuits do you find the sheer size of the new
CU becomes an issue with some rewires?Â* (The CU here is under the stairs
which ought to make it easy but the location of the incomer, meter board
and CH pipes means I'm leaning towards stacking 2 CUs to be sure of
enough ways next time.)

I quite often go for multiple CUs - not only for adequate numbers of
ways, but it can also make sense to have them "purposed" - say like here
house circuits on one, and outside / outbuilding circuits on another.
