Yes that is correct in terms of me having an attic and a dormer but the cable for the shower doesn't go anywhere near the attic, it runs in the voidthat's the overhang infront and below the Dormer then up the wall (inside the void, no insulation) and into the void between the dormer roof and celiing).
From what I can work out, the cable then runs 1m (if that) through the void with insulation to the ceiling mounted switch and then about another 1m from the switch to another void that's been created where the shower is fitted, am assuming there is a void there, prob not deep, but a void all the same to take the cold water feed for the shower.
So in theory there is only about 2m of cable (6mm) in the void with the insulation. I've had to make a hole in the ceiling to get to the cables (the whole in in what used to be the airing cupboard and is now just a cupboard so it can't be seen). Because it's not seen I can leave the new junction box out of the void and just have cables up there.
