I am presently getting a bathroom refit.
The bathroom previously had a supply on a spur to an electric shower. The spur is on an RCD at the main consumer unit, but it is not on a ring main.
I want to use the spur to feed the rest of the bathroom. My electrician is telling me that he needs to feed all the way back to the consumer unit to complete the ring.
This will cost $$$ since the path is covered in laminate floor.
Is this necessary or are there other options? Is a ring main a requirement by law? even if the spur is on an RCD anyway? can the ring start and terminate from the spur, so that I can split the spur at an accessible point instead of going all the way back the the consumer unit?
Thanks
