Hi my house suffers from damp walls in the lounge that have been attented to many times,the metal boxes in the wall get damp and go rusty causing the rcd to trip.
My question is can is it ok to remove and replace the old metal back boxes that keep rusting and replace with plastic surface boxes and switches and fill in the plaster behind , would this meet current wiring regs until the damp in the wall gets sorted?
I have a modern fusebox with rcd's, 2 years old.
