No earth in lighting switch
Hi there, I don’t know too much about electrics so don’t get shocked, this may be a big no-no to do, here it goes any how.
Is it appropriate to run and connect an earth cable from the lighting switch (where there was no earth due to old cabling) and connect it up to the earth in the main ring via junction box?
Can this be done or is this not allowed and totally stupid?
Reason is I don’t want to drill walls but can access the wall next to the door frame and want to fit a metal switch.
Thanks
