[QUOTE="Bclearnersparks, post: 23617, member: 322"] 1960's house, lady wanted extra sockets in living room and light switches changed to dimmers, nice easy job I thought especially as property rewired in 2001. Previous spark has left old cables in backboxes which are leaking that green gunge (breakdown of plasticiser?). She wasnt impressed to say the least when I pointed this out to her but I am not sure if the old cables can remain in situ or not. Any ideas guys cos I definately wouldnt have left them in myself if doing rewire! Thanks [/QUOTE]
