I have a few questions regarding the loft conversion I’m doing at the moment:
- Is it okay to extend the first floor lighting circuit up into the loft? It’s separate from the downstairs circuit and currently has 5 lamps on it. It would be extended by five, two sets of recessed halogens x 3, a stair light and two cupboard lights. It’s a small Edwardian terraced house to give you an idea of the wiring length required.
- Is it also okay to extend the ring main into the loft or should it go on a separate circuit? There are 9 double sockets plus one single spur on the ground floor, and 4 doubles and two singles plus a combi connection on the first floor. The loft would require 4 more doubles plus two single sockets.
- My final question (for now!): how much work can I legitimately do before I emply an electrician to complete the Part P? Can I lay wires, fix boxes, etc.?
Cheers
