Hi,
I want to add sockets and change my lights to spots.
the additional sockets are in the living room.
Both my dad and my late grandfather are sparks. I did a couple of years but decided to do something else, but me and my dad certainly have the knowledge to install this, pretty simple job.
I know the law was changed a while ago to say a lot of home electrical upgrades has to be done by a qualified spark (neither of us are), but not sure what the leeway is.
I THINK fused spurs off the ring Main are ok to do as DIY, and adding spots is ok too. My understanding is that it’s only new circuits to the consumer unit which need testing etc.
can anyone advice? It’s the difference between a few quid and hundreds for a job which I can comfortably do at home provided I google the regs.
