Is it allowed under the new regs, for me to fit my own shower in stall all the pipe work fit the shower unit and run the cable to the consumer unit but get a sparky to wired it to the fuse. I'm a builder who is now to ill to work so wondering what im allowed to do myself to keep the costs down. Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

Thats not really the way it works but if you know a registered electrician who will let you run the cable in under the 'donkey work' part of the install and he does all the connections then it may be possible. Particularly with him being able to inspect the full run and having specified the cable.
Its a new circuit, and the shower is in a bathroom, so your electrician needs to be "Part P" registered as he will have to notify the work as having been done by him/her.

Great thanks. So i will fit the shower do the plumbing and get a part p to run the cable in himself so he can verify its 10.5mm and he knows its installed correct and can notify the local authority. Sounds the best way, keeps him right and me right. Cheers guys.
