Flushing sockets in walls

[067256]

I want to flush about 3 or 4 sockets into the wall...existing cables are long enough thankfully.(sockets are currently surface mounted)
Do i need to make sure the circuit is rcd protected as i have an old wylex with push in breakers?
This is'nt classed as an addition or alteration????

as long as you are not modifying/extending the circuit. it's an accessory change so you don't need to bring the circuit up to current regs. however, i would check earthing and bonding as a matter of course, just to CYA.

noo you don't but maybe you should - remember 17th is only minimal recommendations

Yep and how do you know those flush sockets will fit ok?....May need a deeper box............

if they're surface at the moment, he'll need knock-out boxes anyway.
