I have had a problem with my lighting circuit recently and the electrician told us that the house, (1950s), was not not earthed in the lighting circuit. He explained that this was not unusual with this age of house and that the wiring was all correct in every other way.
He said that the main box will have to be replaced and an earth installed. I am familiar with the reasoning for the box being replaced with a new style one but how is an earth installed in the lighting circuit?
I have no intention of doing it myself so a laymans explaination would be appreciated!!!
Many thanks
