Oh I see, fingers crossed then. Thanks for your help.

Other houses in the area that were built by the same building have had similar extensions, would it be a reasonable assumption that the foundations maybe OK? Or could they have re-enforced rather then rebuild (don't know if that's possible)?

The house was built in the late 50's if that helps. So if the foundations are OK, will the brick work be OK, ie single skin with double skin pillars?

Hi I have an attached garage and would like to building above it to gain an extra bedroom and bathroom. The garage is single skin but has double skin pillars and regular intervals. Would I be able to building straight onto the existing garage or would it need reenforcing or rebuilding...

Thanks for the information, is there no way of adding a RCD into the current CU then?

Thanks for all you comments. So you say that all circuits needs RCD protection now, is that lighting, shower, sockets, everything? The CU that is installed is a Volex one, do you know if it is possible to change these in splitload units?

What would be the best way to do this then as getting an RCBO for each circuit would be quite expensive, are there more cost effective ways?

Hello I currently have a consumer unit without any rcd's. It just has main switch and mcb's. I believe that I need rcd protection for at least the downstairs sockets, is this correct? Is there any other circuits that need RCD protection? Would I be able to use rcbo's instead of RCD's for the...
