Reason I started the thread was more of a ---- take as i will no doubt have people on quotes telling some other electrician says i need all this work doing to comply with the 18th edition. The cowboys will be rubbing their hands togetherHa ha, that’s funny ..... like any of them know or care!

I think Murdoch is referring to alterations that would be required to the existing installation in order to make the new work compliant?Would of thought if work is ongoing then comply to the 17th,new work to the 18th.
Yes, just domestic for now.Domestic lighting circuits that is.
no changes, IMO, just the work that you do needs to be to 18th.e. g.if fitting a new luminaire ( light for the uninitiated ), you need to add RCD if not already in place, but only for your new light, not necessarily for existing lights.
i meant if you were fitting an additional light, not a replacement. so i agree with your last post. .Not sure I agree with that ...... a replacement light doesn't need RCD protection but additional lights would need RCD protection for the circuit....
Retire early!So as a theory: existing rewirable board with no spare ways. Lady of the house buys a new cooker in the January sales which is electric. Even in the sales the cooker costs £1500. The existing cooker is gas, no existing electric circuit but she now needs one. To make make matters worse the only cable route is to clip direct and/or in surface trunking around the perimeter of the room from the utility next door where the CU is located. What would you do?
