yeah, i understand what you are saying. I just wanted to get a good idea from experienced electricians on what should be / could be done. I know other things cannot be seen from what is not known but thanks for all your help and advice, its much appreciated.:yes:
 
With locations containing baths or showers, the requirement is to protect the circuit(s).
So yes the RCD should be in or as close as possible to the Consumer Unit (or Fuse Box), not in the loft.
 
i though that over 13metres the cable needs to be 10mm for an 8.5kw load?7.5 maybye--
justin says its about a 19-20 metre run
if the shower is used for a longtime,the 6mm cable will warm up, especially in a loft in the summer?
