Good morning all. So question; if you’re making additions to an existing circuit, but the new cable is not min 50mm deep in wall or mechanically protected and the current circuit is not RCD protected do you tell customer that RCD protection is required as per the regs? My thought is yes and explain why it’s needed to customer; if they don’t want it then I’d walk away but just want to hear others views. TIA
 
Probably cuz they aren't sure, or don't know what to do next. To which I suppose begs the question, do the Schemes know the answer any way, replies on a post card please. Someone said "A stupid boy sigh" says it all really.

In fairness to them, the Tech Support of my Scheme were quite knowledgeable, thorough with their replies, and from the experience & qualifications they held (as seen from editorials on them), I was in no doubt of their qualified answers. There was a particular individual, whom I wasn't sure about, the rest were exemplary.

When you consider, when you ring in with a query, the guy would respond straight away with his guidance quoting regulation numbers etc, its not like replying to a thread here, with the advantage of time, browsing regs book or using Google. They were most helpful.

I don't think you can criticise something, without the experience of using it.
