Hi, id like to get your thoughts on the following:
I was asked to extend a downstairs ring today by adding a couple of sockets in a dining room, no problems breaking into the ring and adding the required sockets, however, I noticed that the conservatory had 4 dbl sockets, FCU for Air con (3KW), and FCU for a pair of wall lights all run in 2.5 T&E from a spur off one of the sockets i was going to adapt. .
Also no RCD on ring (re-wirable fuse).
I have advised this is not good, and needs to be altered, but the client was convinced I was after more work. I could just walk away, but I thought id seek your advice and hopefully some other suggestions to what remedial action could be taken- Any thoughts
