I’m doing a loft conversion – so completely new wiring.
The new loft is a large bedsit, kitchenette, power shower, study & will be largely independent – son & family downstairs – oldies up top.
Downstairs is all modern wiring, run off a consumer unit.
I’m thinking it might be a good idea to run the loft off a separate CU placed up in the loft - it’s a separate set of fuses, elcb, etc & don’t have to run down 2 flights of stairs if the downstairs elcb goes.
If I was to do that & run the tails back down to the house supply, that’s close on 10 metres of tails !
So I’m wondering if it would be ok, or a good idea, to run the loft CU from the downstairs CU ?
Any thoughts anyone.
