Hello all;
I've got a house at the mo that im doing up and i want to mount the sockets and switches in the walls...
No problem for the sockets - just chip the walls out and fit metal boxes in the walls and fit nice new brushed metal sockets - beautiful!
However - the lighting is pre 1966 regs so has no earth cable. Im happy to fit a nice modern plastic fascia, but can i mount them in the wall - i dont think i can use the metal back boxes because of the problem of the earth cable!?? Can someone help with this?
There are MCB's fitted as the main consumer unit has been replaced very recently...
Thanks, Steve.
