Maybe, but to be fair, the OP hasn't been back since I made that point yesterday evening. I had previously made the point that, without an upstream RCD, it might (depending on installation method) be necessary to use SWA. Yesterday, I re-stated it the other way around, by saying that, with some installation methods, SWA might not be needed!The OP didn't seem to be hearing you properly...Yes, I have made that point
Whatever, as we have said between us, the marginal price difference between 16mm² SWA and T&E is so small (particularly in the context of the total cost of an extension) that I don't think that cost should enter at all in to the decision melting pot!
Kind Regards, John
Hi, thanks again for all the input. If armoured cable is virtually same price, makes sense to use that, wherever they decide to put an rcd.
Thanks all, I now have enough info to get people in and sound like I sort of know what I'm talking about.
