Hi, We have just purchased an old house for a holiday retreat. Please dont mention the weather!!! The house still has the rewirable type fuses in the CSU. As far as i can see there is only one lighting circuit for the whole house.
I want to add a shaving socket. Other than the lights there are no other electric sources in the bathroom. My understanding is i can run the shaver socket off the lighting circuit in the bathroom( i do understand its notifiable and the zone regulations in the bathroom) My question is i also understand that the latest Regs require all bathroom circuits to be protected by a RCD. Does this include the lighting circuits.
If yes is it fair to say that to put the shaver socket in the bathroom the electrician will need to rigup a new circuit for the lights in the bathroom and add a RCD in the CSU for that circuit or put the whole of the light circuit on an RCD.
Thanks for any help.
