Hi all
I’m new here and need some advice
We’ve got an old Victorian house with a suspended ground floor. We’ve had a rat problem (Sorted now!) and they’ve chewed through part of the ring main downstairs.
I was thinking of replacing the line of cable they’ve chewed through myself (It’s red and black)
My questions are;
Can I just replace the cable with brown/blue without notification?
Going a little further - could I not just replace the whole ring like-for-like whilst I’m already going down there? I’d simply be using the same layout and sockets, just literally changing the cable (Of course to brown/blue) I’d have an electrician terminate for me at the CU.
Any advice, greatly appreciated
It might be useful to note that I have my level 2 installation certificate from college (Before a change of career choice haha) - I consider myself competent but not an expert of course!
