Just moved into my first house and want to make some minor changes to the wiring which is using the old colours. In one of the bedrooms we want to rehinge the door so it swings open in the other direction. The problem is that this would block the lightswitch which isn't very conveniant. The solution is to move the light switch to the wall on the other side of the doorframe.
1. Given the wiring is done using old colours, does that mean I shouldn't use spare old-colour wiring to move the switch?
2. Mixing the colours would be more confusing but what should I do to conform with the regs? It certainly seems overkill to have to rewire a large amount just because of 1-2 metres of cable.
