I'm pretty sure they are all lighting circuits, certainly no electric shower or cooker cables.As always Google gives mixed answers <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy    :joy:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f602.png" data-shortname=":joy:" /> I am going to run it past the electrician tomorrow ( he did know what the plan was) but thought I would run it past the knowledgeable ones on here first.Any thoughts?Thanks, Doug</blockquote>
