    ok thanks.  My parents had 2 outdoor sockets added (not by me) with no RCD, no Isolating switch. He was also nice enough to replace a faulty 6a mcb with a 16a which he had knocking around. it seems alot of people are ignorant to part p and the regulations in place.. anyway, I think it was my...

    It is mains downlights maybe £10 each. Just any half decent IP rated RCD outdoor socket, (which is likely to be mounted directly opposite an indoor one, so t+e straight through not sure on loft access, shouldnt be too bad as large house. need it to take just the morning though hopefully.

    2 additional downlights on landing, 1 additional downlight in bedroom above a dressing table, 1 outdoor socket, (likely to be near to where a kitchen socket already is so no cable run) Estimated around £250???
