    Warehouse wiring

    I'm converting a warehouse that was an exhibition space into a trampoline park. Need to: - Replace twenty flouro tube lights with LED equivalents - Move six plug sockets 6 inches to the left (currently surface mounted with cabling encased in trunking) Contractor says we need to rip out wiring and start from scratch because: - Current wire is a grey twin and earth that causes excess smoke and is only suitable for domestic. - Current wiring is attached to redundant old pipework and ceiling trusses (4mtrs off the ground) by cable ties. - Some back office wiring is surface mounted and not running inside trunking. He says “even if our electricians test everything and it is ok, if it doesn't meet regs Building Control may not accept it due to the extent of install you are carrying out they may request everything is replaced" Sound like it is necessary or could the existing wiring remain?
