not me for sure

Thank you,you are opening my mind the the hows and whys of electrical operation,rating and safety. :)

Cheers, when you say circuit currents are sporadic would that explain why lights flicker and the temperature of the water coming from an electric shower can vary?  

True and I can't piss about with that to be fair,I'm sure the cable is heavy duty stuff but that's not enough to put my mind to rest over the long term so it looks like another trip to dark and dusty hellhole for me soon. :)

Thanks, I did read up a bit before I went up there and from what I could gather the general consensus was that a lighting circuit would be ok under a bit of insulation but it was the power/shower cables that you had to watch because of them running closer to their capacity. I had the idea to...

What do you all think of that idea to use the guttering to give the cables a little room to breath and stay cool,was it worth the effort overall? I don't think doing that could have hurt at all? Or did adding more plastic up there not help at all? If there was to be a problem with the shower...

Hello Trailer Boy and thanks for replying, I'll start at the bottom of your reply and work up. No,I am not electrically qualified and this is a DIY  project yes. It's such a tight squeeze to get access to this loft that I seriously doubt anyone else apart from me would want to or be able to...

Hi Andy, yeah,I can't though that's the thing. The shower cable run is about 12/14 feet and the most I can lift the cable at any point is about 6 inches so not much hope of getting 170mm of fibre under there and if I did it would be very tight. Are there any other options I can consider...

Gentlemen, apologies for reviving an old thread but this is the nearest thing I can find online to helping solve my conundrum and I would greatly appreciate some opinions on this job. I live in a top floor apartment that was converted 10 years ago,when I moved in there were 14 halogen...
