Hello folks as this is the Electrics UK discussion forum and Scotland is part of the UK i thought this was as good a place as any to ask a question.
I would like to get my old House consumer unit replaced with a more modern and safer unit, as mine has re-wirable fuses and no RCD or MCB's fitted. At the same time I would like to get some power installed in my newish garden shed, which is situated about 3 meters away from the house, ( and the electrical 'service area' of my house).
There seems to be lots and lots of info on the web regarding the fairly new Part P building regs for England and Wales, but I've not been quite so lucky in finding out exactly the scope of what the home DIYer can and can't do in Scotland.
Has anybody got any good links or can offer advice.
I am not a domestic electrician by the way, however i am a fully Qualified ( and practising ) commercial aircraft electrician/technician and so all of the basic principles are not unknown to me -i had to struggle though my lecky exams too .
any advice gratefully appreciated.
