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.

    He wants to rent the house. Could parts of the installation that are excluded from an EIC cause problems for renting law or insurance validity does anyone know. It will be tested.

    For rental - an RCD has to be fitted to lighting; so if VRI it is also probably 2 core requiring a rewire ….. and an EIC. WD40 or grease at the joint of cables would assist passage.
