Hi,
I'm looking for some advice in getting my flat partially rewired. It has modern fuseboard including RCD (30mA) for bathroom. All the cables in the flat (sockets, lights, etc) are brown, blue, green-yellow and are going up the attic and this is where the mess begins.
Got two main issues I noticed:
1) bathroom fan is somehow chained with kitchen's boiler. So disconnecting the fan also disconnects my boiler. The fuseboard is connected to my bathroom fan and from the bathroom fan there is a wire that supplies kitchen boiler. So, there are two cables in my bathroom's fan - one in (from fuseboard) and second out (from the fan to kitchen boiler)
Should this not be done in a junction box properly up in my attic instead of making my fan being mini junction box and chaining my fan with boiler?
2) it looks like there is no junction box at all in the flat; the sockets in each of the rooms seem to be chained together - being mini junction boxes themselves; so it has two wires - one wire supplies the socket, second wire goes back up the attic and then down again to the same room to supply another socket, etc.
What would you recommend to do in the situation? I do not want full home rewiring for the reason that the fuseboard is new so are the cables/wires. The only problem is missing proper junction box(es) up the attic and some things are chained together that I think are not supposed to be...
Thanks a lot!
