Leaving awkward existing loft lighting on a rewire?

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.

  • Ditto that one. 

    or remove sheaths completely on those ends and double up remaining  conductor into a loop - one core looped and interlocked with opposing piece as per two hooks, wrap with tape brings it nearer to original dia and reduces untapered shoulders to snag.
