I always thought it was okay to cut a few strands out as long as you made sure it was the same strands at both ends of the cable.

I too don't see a problem the cable only needs increased csa through the insulation not at the accessories so you could cut it back to 2.5

OK how many strand from a 4mm to convert it to 2.5mm?

I reckon each strand is 0.57mm so you would have to remove two and get a bit of wet and dry on a third one

Insulation is becomming a big factor these days with new builds slapping it in everywhere 200mm minimum in lofts!! Ridiculous!

6mm for cookers / hobs will now have to be 10mm if they keep insisting on stuffing fibreglass in between floor joists because the builders won't pay the extra for other insulation material. Then imagine trying to get 16mm into shower switches.
