Hi guys
I am a newbie here and I am just a D.I.Yer so by no means an expert.
I have just put in a new bathroom and wanted to make some alterations to the wiring. There is a unswitched fuse inside the bathroom which is operated by a switched fuse outside the bathroom, I assume this was used for an electric towel rail/heater at one point. I would like to leave this in case one is installed in the future, I am replacing all the switches etc and wondered if I need the switch outside the bathroom to be fused or can it be a normal switch with the unswitched fuse in the bathroom? Also I have had a look at my fuse box and they are all MCB's. 6amp for lighting and 32amp for sockets. As far as I am aware all bathroom wiring should be RCD protected now? Would i need to change the fuse box or is there another way to satisfy the regulations?
Any more info required please let me know and thanks in advance.
