Any help from sparkys would be appreiacted.
I am removing an electric shower which is defunct and replacing by a mixer(NO ELECTRICS OR PUMP involved). Is best practice to remove the MCB feeding the shower or just to turn it off and isolate the cabling. I assume the former is the correct way. The only way of isolating the consumer unit seems to be the main fuse as there is no switch on or near this. Is it legal for me to remove mains fuse, remove MCB and put the fuse back in. Is the work notifiable in which case I may need an electrician.
THANKS
