i would certainly replace any bell cable on the installation. it's only rated for ELV and around 3A. rip it out.

If it is what i think you are describing then it is not actually bell cable but does look similar ?
It has to go , i can not remember where i know it from but it is i believe it is a code 1 !
Something to do with the insulation degrading and making it a serious shock and fire risk !
I as always stand to be corrected but that is my take on it .

I think it's know as class 0 - there's only basic protection, like how they used to make those christmas tree lights where all the bulbs were in series. As per the appliance code of practice they shouldn't be sold or used in commercial or domestic properties.

I once worked at a house and they asked me to change over the wall light fittings. Thet were wired in bell wire. The lot came out.
