Leaving awkward existing loft lighting on a rewire?

Former Community Member

Hi, just starting out on my own. I have a house rewire for a friend. He has a converted loft room with about 10 spotlights. Id prefer to rewire it all with new cable but it looks as though all the plasterboard would have to come down to do that. If I was to keep the existing cables and they test OK do I just note it on the EIC? Such as “Full rewire installation excluding loft lighting cables”. Can the same be done for any other circuit or section of wiring? Thanks for the help.

    No harm in retaining parts of the original installation provided that both electrical testing and visual inspection show that such parts are fit for re-use.

    I would avoid re-use of rubber cables even if shown to be serviceable on the grounds that they are probably near the end of service life. PVC lasts almost forever if not abused.
