[QUOTE="brucina, post: 496744, member: 32738"] Thanks for all your comments.thats very kind. The wiring at some of the sockets is poor in that there is green deposits on the copper conductors and some of the terminations are tight and there is no slack to make off again.. I don't see anyway round that unless I just replace the worst cables , but TBH the sockets are not great. I don't think the original installation was that good TBH. I take the point that I don't have a copy of the 18th but I did note about the Surge device requirement/or risk assessment.Also aim to put each circuit on RCBO's The only way I can see to rewire would be to cut holes into the plasterboard and try and fish the wires through. From what I have seen they cut notches into some ceiling joists rather than cutting holes through the middle. I do want to put in a few additional sockets and change the singles to doubles etc. Think if I can do the wiring and bonding then get the board changed over and certified that would be the way to go ?
