I'm doing a repair job for a friend whose kitchen spotlights aren't working. The wiring is poor and the light switch has five seperate cables wired in a way that defies all reason. (Now disconnected and made safe). I've agreed to repair it only if I can rewire the whole set up by the book.
The problem I've got is that to run new cables in I want to take the floor boards up on the floor above. His daughter is revising for her A-levels at the moment (the floor boards are in her bedroom) and he doesn't want the disruption at this important time.
The only way I can see to access the space in the ceiling is to cut a channel through the palsterboard almost the length of the ceiling, so I can run the cables in through the joists, then board up and plaster when complete. Messy but effective.
Does anyone have experience of a more straightforward approach. I've got Part P and CG 2381 but practical stuff like this isn't in any textbooks.
Any good advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks, John.
