Hi all,
My contractor is doing my wiring for extended kitchen now. I asked him to add 2 normal sockets & 1 socket for electrical hob at the extended wall, in addition to 1 existing socket there.
Based on what i see, what he did was he extended from the existing socket to the 3 new sockets, incl the socket for electrical hob which i heard ppl saying it shud be 15A instead of the normal 13A.
May i know if this is ok?
Thx in advance.
Personally I would wire new dedicated 4mm2 wiring direct from DB on 20A mcb's .My contractor is doing my wiring for extended kitchen now. I asked him to add 2 normal sockets & 1 socket for electrical hob at the extended wall, in addition to 1 existing socket there.

One set for the hob and another set for the 2 normal 13A sso if inside the kitchen
Reason is because mostly high current heating appliances and motor mixers gets connected there.
The 2.5mm2 wires tend to be overheat especially the connections and is actually sized for low power general appliances.
It will cost more but in compliance to standard ST wiring practice and peace of mind
