I have a three bed semi built late 60's. I have an old style fuse board but for some reason all the lighting in the house is one big lighting circuit running off the one 5 amp supply. I finally understand the layout now (the previous occupant had odd views on electrical safety) and am thinking of rewiring the lighting circuit piece by piece. What I would like to do is create two circuits upstairs as follows:-
Circuit 1 = Main bedroom & Landing / Stair lighting
Circuit 2 = Bedrooms 2 & 3 + Bathroom
The plan is to have two roses, one for each circuit and then radials feeding each room from these roses. For now I would like to then connect the existing supply into both of these roses.
Later on when I have more money I will do the same for the downstairs and then have them connected back to a new consumer unit by a qualified person.
Is this daft or not? Also, does Part P apply here as technically I am not adding more circuits at this time...
Thanks all
