[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 70586, member: 250"] As the others have said, If the customer is only asking for a CU change..... you cannot force or insist upon any reorganising of the circuits. Providing the the following are all acceptable:- 1/ Earthing & Bonding MUST be sound and electrically safe! 2/ All cables meet suitable insulation resistance values. 3/ Continuity of earths & polarity of live conductors is sound. 4/ All applicable metal accessories are earthed. 5/ Appropriate rating of protective devices are used. Just go ahead & do it. If any areas are unsafe.. inform the customer in writing and don't do any further changes until all safety issues can be satisfactorily resolved. After completing jobs such as this with 1 socket / 1 light circuit, along with the electrical certificate I add an extra observational note that the property would benefit form having additional socket or light circuits to minimise inconvenience in the event of faults. The only other thing I very often find with these types of in installations is that plastic pendant and rose fittings can be very worn/old/perishing... So I will suggest replacing ceiling roses/pendants.... But again... the customer has to want it done & be willing to pay!!!!! :| [/QUOTE]
