Hi,
I've got some old R50 spot lights in the kitchen ceiling which are badly fitted (having broken the old lath and plaster with their spring clips) and aren't fire rated, and there are bedrooms above, so I'd like to swap then for modern GU10 fire rated spots in those adapter plates (or home made plaster disks) to cover the larger holes. I've also got some kitchen sockets which have dodgy switches, and all of them are lagging behind modern alternatives aesthetically, so again I'd like to swap them for modern ones.
However, I'm expecting to sell my house soon and I don't want to do anything which may cause issues with regs and certificates etc. I'm not intending to reposition anything or change wiring so I 'think' it would be okay but I'm not sure. Does anyone know if I can legitimately replace the old spots with modern GU10 spots in a kitchen, and directly replace the sockets?
Many Thanks
Kev
