Obviously there are wires for lighting in the loft, but will they
only work when the light is switched on?

Given this pointer to the level of Mr Smith's electrical expertise, I
really think that subsequent posters who encourage him to make a

Couldn't agree more - and most eloquently put, if I may be so bold. What's

qualified personnel (competent isn't enough these days, so even a
knowledgeable mate is a dubious solution methinks?).
