If you arrived at a house requesting an extra socket, and the wiring was in the old rubber style with screwits etc, would you recommend a rewire and leave well alone, or henley in a new circuit.

I personally wouldn't touch rubber, its way over due for rewiring.

Not always it depends on where it was installed etc
I have come across rubber that looks absolutely fine, but was rewiring anyway. I have also found it where the cable passes IR test fine but the insulation crumbles to the touch. I have never left a piece of rubber in service yet.
Could I have an example please.
I think NOT. Have you tried to change the board in a house full of aged rubber cable? The insulation falls off the cable as soon as you touch it in most cases.My thoughts reflected in a lot of posts out with rubber and in with PVC I would only offer a rewire, having said that you could argue that fitting them a new RCD board would be doing them a favour, but I would walk away.
