Hi All,
Have just bought a Victorian first floor 2 bed conversion. Am having it re-wired but the lighting circuit is difficult to access as there are people living in the flat above whom I'm sure wouldn't let me pull their carpets and floorboards up to access the wiring. Also there are nice ornate ceiling roses and coving which I'd like to retain which means cutting a chase up the walls and across the lath and plaster ceiling would be pretty difficult too.
The lights all work and have the white sheathed red/black twin and earth cable.
I'm thinking about putting a new loop cable under the floor and up in to the switches and re-using the switch wire to connect to the ceiling roses.
Any comments gratefully received.
Many thanks
Angus.
