Firstly, if your home pre-dates the 1960’s, your lighting installations are likely out of date and not fit for purpose. Domestic lighting circuits did not have Earthing until 1967. Earthing is necessary to prevent shocks and fire hazards, providing a path to automatically disconnect dangerous currents. Since 2005, all domestic electrical work must comply with part ‘P’ of Building Regulations. In order to comply, all electrical work, including hard-wired lighting, must be carried out or tested by registered professionals. Lighting circuits in modern properties are required for each floor and are separate from the main circuit. Consequently, if this is not the case in your home, you may need to consider re-wiring.
