Hi I have an NN board that requires an upgraded RCD switch as I'm altering a lighting circuit. As these aren't freely available is it possible to run the alteration off an RCD spur attached to the wall? I'm moving a light switch. Thanks.

I've got a job repainting walls and ceilings in white emulsion. However the walls are filthy and I think I could save some time spraying them with a weak bleach solution to save on the amount of coats they'll need. Will this compromise the new coat of emulsion and what residue does bleach...
