Morning All. Long time lurker first time poster. Just wanted to ask a quick question and would be grateful for any guidance that could be offered.
We have just moved into a new house, and have discovered the water pressure to the bath/shower is rather low. Whilst we intend on gutting the bathroom in the future, funds are currently a bit tight so I was thinking....
Within the bathroom is an airing cupboard with an existing spare single switched socket (although little extra space for anything else)... Under the bath about 2m away is sufficient space for a Salamander Impeller Pump with a 1m flex which I have from a previous life... is it be permissible or notifiable under Part P, and/or good practice, to either
a) swap the socket for a fused spur, use some 1.5mm FP200 to run under the floor to the void under the bath (not accessible without screwdriver), and, because I have no other idea, use a MK Masterseal 2G 13A RCD Socket to plug into, or b) leave the socket, get a plug in RCD, cut the plug off of the pump, crimp it etc etc
I am suspecting I know the answer already, but would appreciate any offers of advice so if it is not, and I speak to an electrician, I would feel more confident.
Secondly, does anyone know why, in my CU (not split), I would have 3 x 1.5mm L cables in a single 32A breaker that servers "sockets".
Many thanks in advance
