[QUOTE="NozSpark, post: 14982, member: 601"] First off any new work must comply to current regs - So yes you must use 17th CU The loading does not look to be too bad for what you propose so long as you have gas ch and no electric showers... But why 10A for the lighting??? Smoke alarm circuits burried <50mm still need RCD protection and must not be protected by the same RCD as a socket circuit, so RCBO for the smokes!! (in smoke alarm regs) also as new extension smokes will be a requirement, also extractor in new bathrooms & kitchens will be required aswel as the correct ratio of low energy lighting (part L1 fo building regs) Just remember your protective earthing!
