Hi,
Thanks for the response. The kitchen was actually moved to an extension around 10 years ago, so I think the shower may have been wired in first (the house was built mid 1990s).
I have tried to upload 2 photos. One is of the fuse box
It looks like there is an extra space at the end (no 8). The shower and hob are wired through no 2. I notice there is not a seperate one for the oven in the kitchen.
The other photo is of some switches in the kitchen for the various appliances.
You can see they have wired in switches for most things. What I can't understand is why they would have wired the hob to a different circuit than the oven, unless someone has thought that it is more likely that the oven and hob would be used together and overload the circuit, whereas it is less likely that the hob and shower would be used together....that's just a guess from a complete novice though!
What I'd like to know is if the current wiring is either illegal in any way or potential dangerous. Is that something you can tell from the information I've given so far?
Many thanks in advance for the advice.
