Hi,
My daughter has just purchased a 1950s ex council house. The wiring doesn't look like its been touched since the 1950s apart from someone adding a couple of extra surface mount sockets.
We plan on having a full re-wire done and new CU. I am going to do all the chasing and running in of cable and an electrician will fit the CU and final testing and certification.
I've chased in a few new socket locations but the light switches are staying in their current locations. The existing wiring is run in round metal conduit, so it may be possible to run the new cable through this conduit without the need for ripping it all out.
Is this a viable option?
Thanks for any advice
