Hi,
My house has only four fused circuits. One for lights upstairs, one for lights downstairs, one for all sockets (up and down) and one that was for the immersion tank (before it was removed). The house is timber frame with drywall construction and hasn't had it's wiring updated since it was constructed. I have to get an electrician in to do a lot of things, including installing a modern consumer unit. To run new cable, he'd have to shift lots of furniture and lift just about every carpet and floorboard on the first floor. Am I allowed to run the new cable myself? I don't mean connect it at all, just run the lengths so all he has to do is make the connections and test?
Thank you.
