I want to run a spur off a ring main into my adjacent conservatory in my UK house. I am capable of doing the job and did quite a lot of electrical work on the house before PartP(?) came in (just a few years ago if I remember). Back then I got an electrician friend in to check the work I did before going live. Sadly he has left our area.
Someone has told me that if I had a problem, albeit unrelated, e.g the house catches fire I might have problems with the house insurance company - who look to get out of any liability if they can? - if they knew I had done electrical work myself.
OK.. how could they know you might say?..but if they did find out there was amateur DIY electrical work carried out post-Part-P is it true that they could walk away.
