Hi,
Have been reading various threads on the forum, I am making a storage area of the loft. It was existing wired up with a ring main for the socket and a fused take off from this for the lights.
I have sorted everything out with BC they want a certificate of installation which I have talk to a local electrician and he will check my work etc.
But I have to upgrade my shower supply from 6mm2 to 10mm2 which is fine as it will have its own CU, now as I have 6mm2 running from the ground floor up to the loft left over I was thinking of putting in a 2nd cu running off the 6mm2 separating the 2 circuits, Lights and sockets.
So I would have only 2 lights in the lighting on 1 MCB, and about 4-5 sockets on the other MCB.
It just I don't like the messy way the previous owner wired it up which I believe is fine but would like to utilise the 6mm2 thats left over as it seem logical.
No problems with the existing run 90% in free air and less than 100m2 area.
Sorry for the long story but trying to give as much info as possible.
thanks in advance
