Morning ,
Just seeing what peoples thoughts are. Been to look at a kitchen extension and there is going to be quite a bit of remedial work. The existing cable was fitted 20 yrs ago white t/e and looks in pretty good condition. IR values 770mohm @500v
I am led to believe that cable has a shelf life of 25yrs.The exsisting stuff is getting on a bit but still passes with flying colours. At what point would you rewire or in this instance would you be happy to use exsisting even though it is ÂŁ20 yrs old .
Thanks
