Hi there
I've just had a new conservatory built. The builders have taken a spur from a downstairs socket to power the electrics in there. There are fuse spurs for the fan and the panel heater.
I've asked whether a certificate should be issued for this work, and I've been told that one isn't actually necessary (but that one can be issued if we really want one).
My questions are:
1) Is this OK, and is this standard practice for a builder, and
2) If there was an electrical fire started in the conservatory, would my house insurance cover it without any certificate?
Thanks
Alan
