[Peter Woodford]

Guys,

been to look at a job the person has converted 1 bedroom into 2 so wants a light installed in the second room. Do i need to rcd protect the whole circuit customer has old cart fuse board or rcbo?

cheers

You need to RCD protect anything you install if it requires, ie in plaster etc

Are the cables surface mounted

This will be in plaster board wall room already has light in it just needs a extra switch drop installed so that it doesn't work from the other room with the other light. Just seems a small job but if it has to have rcd protection can work out costing client a lot more
