Hi,
I've recently had some work done on a outhouse but am not entirely happy with the results, especially with the electrical side of things. I have had the plumber in who has set up pipes for a feed to a washing machine, radiator and also prepared for an extension for a bathroom to be fitted as an extra room on the outhouse. This is all fine.
The electrician then added a couple of sockets to the outhouse and left some cable spare for a feed to the bathroom (when built) and also for electricity to the shed.
The queries i have are:
1. The electrician has said that they cannot give me a certificate for the wiring until the outhouse is complete? i.e. with the bathroom. Is this correct? To me it sounds as if they are just trying to ensure they get the work required on the new bathroom.
2. Are there any regulations as to how close a socket can be to a water feed to a washing machine for example? They are currently right next to each other which isn't very comforting when i have had to use the socket or remove / attach a water pipe.
I would appreciate any help here as i am not really sure about the regulations and don't want to be conned here. Especially when it comes to obtaining a certfificate for the wiring.
Many thanks,
Coxy
