Hello,
New builder and Electrician started today to wire-in electric shower to wire already in place for it.
They phoned to say that the new consumer unit that old builder's Electrician put in, which is a 10-way, has no spare way for the shower cable which wasn't wired in.
I spoke to old Electrician who said can move doorbell so shares a lighting circuit to free-up way for shower cable.
Told new builder and Electrician about this and was told can't share circuit.
Went back to old Electrician who said can put doorbell on switch spur above fuse board with 3 Amp fuse so not sharing circuit.
Not got hold of new builder and Electrician to suggest this to them yet but wanted to know if they are right that can't share circuit like old Electrician first suggested and whether putting doorbell on switch spur which was his second suggestion is an OK solution re. regulations etc.
Thanks
