Unless you are running a long distance back to the panel or have a heavy load such as a washing machine 14 ga. copper wire should suffice and would be what is typical but go ahead and describe your condition with the specifics to someone knowledgable at a home imp[rovement or hardware store and they can help you.

Electrical outlets for general use are usually wired with 14 gauge wire. Specific applications will vary based on the service to a specific appliance.

For UK Systems
Socket outlets supplied by a ring main are wired using 2.5-mm2 conductors.
Sockets connected to the ring main by a fused connector unit (FCU) - which are called "fused spurs" - are wired using 1.5-mm2 conductors.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
