Hi All
Currently I only have two double sockets in my garage both are spurred of the house ring mains one from upstairs and one off the downstairs. I would like to use some power tools such as table saws, pillar drills etc so for convenience and safety I would like to have a separate ring main installed obviously by a qualified Electrician as it is a new circuit and will need a certificate.
My question is How much if any of the initial work am I allowed to do? i:e can I fit the sockets to the walls and run the cable and then get an electrician in to connect eveything up and do the testing for certification basically all the donkey work,
I spoke to someone at my local building control and they seemed to think that was OK but I would just like a second opinion from a qualified person before I do any work and then find I should'nt have done it.
many thanks in advance.
Cheers
