House rewire lighting circuit

[telectrix]

you don't have to fit these detectors, but it's good practice to do so. they can be on their own circuit or on a frequently used lighting circuit, your choice.

It randomly has a small fuse box on the first floor serving the upstairs lighst and sockets. I'm guessing it used to be a HMO house.

I think they may be renting it.

If they are, have you checked with the landlord?

Are you clicking reply or quote mate, cause I am sure if you hit reply it comes back the way your's did but if you hit quote and insert quote it comes back like this one.

Mini Trunking across the ceiling....yuk lol. Why can't you mini trunk to ceiling and then fish across ceiling ? Consider feeding switches and taking SW+N from Switch to fitting.....Or even a 3 core in the event you need a feed at light for say a fan connection or to tap off for smoke detectors or whatever. Even if you are super unlucky and the route from switch to light is across the joists you can cut out ceiling at each joist drill joists using angle drill and stumpy wood bit feed cables through and then repair ceiling. Repairing ceiling wont be too hard - Just replace each nicely cut out piece of ceiling back where it was with some little pieces of 2"x1" wooden noggins above to screw the pieces back in place. a bit of finishing plaster, rub it down after it dries - bit more plaster, rub it down again.....Job done - ceilings would need repainted by A N Other.....As above adjust your quote to reflect the extra time for patching and filling.

Good idea to feed switches. You're right the mini trunking across ceiling isn't ideal. Its an awkward job. I'm not confident in my finishing skills if I try and fish across the ceiling and make good any holes. I've advised the customer that there will be decorative damage and that they need to arrange someone else to redecorate. Most walls are textured paper that is painted on top
