Dear All,
I have an existing electrical circuit feeding an existing electric shower in a bathroom that I wish to decommission.
The existing installation complete with the shower circuit was signed off last year by an electrican to 16th edition regs.
The electric shower circuit is fed from the Consumer Unit via an RCD protected MCB. There is a 6mm old colour cable run from the Consumer Unit into the loft where it terminated into a Junction Box. There is then a new colour cable from the Junction Box to an isolator switch and then down the bathroom wall into the shower unit.
Please advise on the most appropriate method of decommissioning the circuit as a DIYer. If legal, as a DIYer I would like to remove the complete circuit including the cable into the Consumer Unit and removal and blanking off of the MCB.
Many Thanks
