Extend ring main

Posted by Scott Bullock, on Mon 07 Sep 2015 03:32pm

Hi guys, I want to extend my ring main into the loft to add 1 double socket, can I do this myself or is it a job for an electrician. Also I don't have an up to date consumer unit just one of the very old ones.

Hi Scott, You need an electrician to do it for you, because this is an alteration of an existing circuit. You don't want to mess with the electrics in your house, especially because you don't have an RCD protected consumer unit. Regards,
