You absolutely have to use the IEE 16th Edition because there are other tables in there for taking into account the ambient conditions and cable lengths.
Failure to follow theses regulations could be very costly in the long run. Also, it is now illegal for someone to work on the electrical installations in the UK without being registered. This includes your own house.
I am not trying to be scaremonger but you should be aware of the implications of what you are doing. If you do go ahead then the 16th Edition can be ordered from any bookstore and may be in stock in some larger ones.

2.5mm or 4mm cable will suit most 32A ring main circuits in a house, 10mm for 63A kitchen / cooker circuit.
Do you need more info than that?
Edit here:
You dont need to have your house wiring modifications certified under part P of the UK building regulations except in the kitchen and bathroom, and you can do the work yourself if you consider yourself to be competent enough to do it. However I would recommend getting someone to do the work if you are unsure and also get someone to test and certify it (you will need the certificate to sell your property later). You can use anyone compentent to issue the certificate, not just members of the NICEIC.

16th edition on-site guide will tell you what you need to know.
its a smaller notepad sized book. there should be a copy in your local library.
you shouldnt undertake any electrical works unless suitably qualified.
If any accidents or fires occur due to faulty wiring that was not installed and tested by authorised electicians then your insurance is INVALID and YOU will be liable to prosecution.
