I was replacing some lights and cracked 3 gang light switch today, the the switch feed from one cieling rose was shared between each individual switch and having only the switch live coming from the 2 other ceiling roses (i hope you understand what i mean although i probally didnt explain it that well, so feel free to ask any questions).
Is this bad practice? (never seen it before but i am new to the sparking game and have mainly done new builds)
Should it be updated?
Also what do you more exerienced sparks think or running cables for additions to a ring main behind the skirting boards? (i do mean the type designed for allowing cables to be run) is this bad practice? the house is occupied the house owner doesnt want the floor boards pulled up or large chases in the walls.
If the skirting boards is a good idea does anyone have any links to some decent ones?
Last but not least when running cables behind skirting, to my understanding this is outside the 'safe zones', what would your interupretation be (i.e to comply with regs).
Like i said i am a new young and aspiring spark and i ahve never used the skirting method before, so any help would be great.
Thanks.
