Advice On Rewire Of Lighting Circuit

[Master Mech]

So would removing the 4.0mm2 T&E cable allow enough space to meet the 45% space requirement?

Also would you guy know what the regulation is called or the number?

I have a strong feeling what response I am going to get from the electrician when I mention this but I will try.

Short answer NO.
BS7671 Guidance note 3, page 28 2.6.3 Conduit Systems paragraph 3 Recommended quantity of cables for easy draw not exceeded during installation causing insulation damage; .......... Item should be inspected during the erection stage as the care and workmanship of the installer can be verified (522.8.1 and see On-Site Guide Appendix E)

My spoon has just worn out.

Many thanks for your time, help & patience.

Looks like I will be on the search for another electrician to put all these issues right which will be interesting as I am sure many will not want to put right another persons cock up.

Thanks again to everyone who has participated in this thread & for your input & advice.
