Hi again Andy,
Thanks for the above information. I'm still a bit confused!
From earlier discussions, it looks likely that my main supply is TN-C-S or
*possibly* TN-S.I've looked at the MK stuff on TLC's website, and can't quite work out what I need - not for a reasonable price anyway! Their split load CUs are 70-odd quid +VAT before putting any innards in. Can you suggest a shopping list of bits which would give me MCB protection for lights and RCBO for power - and be compatible with my mains supply - without costing an arm and a leg? [The price reference is the Screwfix garage enclosure for £37 - so I'm hoping to get something which *doesn't* take out the lights when the RCD trips for not too much more than this].
Incidentally, my current thinking is to join the T&E to the SWA using an adaptable box in the roofspace. This means that there won't be any joints exposed to the weather, and the cable won't need chasing so deep into the wall of the en-suite. Hopefully, I can strip the end of the SWA and fit the gland in the en-suite, and then poke it up through the hole in the ceiling, and then grovel in the attic to make the actual connection, which shouldn't be too bad. Does this sound reasonable?
