cheers mate
I was thinking that because of weather it will only be a run of abot 4 metres in total but no pont putting conduit up for it to be penetrated by water as it will run down to the swich
Cheers for taking the time to give advice much appreciated I have always tried to do the best job i can and my brothers install is a complete bodge so over time i will improve it
but he has had it all re plastered and attic boarded 2 week ago didnt tell me spanner, fitted wardrobes ,wood flooring, conservatory etc etc. just about everything he could to make it impossible to get to things . i told him before he got most of this work done to let me rewire it but he does everything backwards. the work he has had done as just added to the mess
original install has 4 way wylex fuseboard with a mix of 30 amp bs3036 fuse,controlling some of upstairs and downstairs sockets and also a 32amp type b wylex replacable cb controlling remainder of upstairs and downstairs sockets and a 13A sw/ f/spur for 4 doublesockets in conseratory the fan and light in here may also be not sure yet though, A 6 amp for all the lighting up and down. the original 500 watt flood a 32a for a circuit for a electrical shower he used to have which is ran up the cavity from a large hole bashed near consumer unit straight up cavity to attic where there are two more large holes with the cable coming from this one of holes they have gone through to outside complete with wren or blue --- nest lol he has got rid of elctric shower so this is coming out
basicaly its a complete mess and nightmare but what can i do he is my bruv and leting me use it for assessment
will take a lot of time to look for faults and test it all before replacing existing fuseboard and possibly the ccu
heres a pic of the consumer unit and shower run

lot of messy tails, just ensure bonding is adequate and do a quick ir and cont test first, then hopefully straightforward board change that will be nice and neat - pictures to follow?

yeah mate real mess,
but since this pic was taken ive got british gas to get unitied utilities to fit a 100amp wylex isolator tuesday just gone and at the same time they have fitted new digiital meter and also upgraded the tails on there side all for £39 quid so looks a little better already and i will get rid of mess with either trunking or come through the back of the board the old circuits have capping that runs all way to bottom of the meter board through to the wylex cables coming from all over shop so will have to work out best way to terminate to new ccu either bring back to top or joint out in a suitable enclosure
it would have been quicker to rewire but to late for that now with all the work he has had done
thanks for your help and good advice mate will take pics as i do it have to sort out registration with elecsa and other stuff first as i wish to use it for the assessment so i will have to give them a ring to see what i need to do notify labc then then register with them
