Thanks the issue there is that the cupboard is actually a drawer pack and I had to remove the back panel to find the FCU which I had no idea was there previously. Its really rather inaccessible which I guess is a bit naughty. At least it didn't turn out to be a Junction Box!! Would it have...

Thanks. The "CU" in the house is a 6 way brown fusebox with single circuits for upstairs and downstairs power. It goes Up Lights, Down Lights, Emersion Heater, Up Power, Down Power, Cooker. There is not a single RCD in the place! Sorry I lie - use a plug in type for lawnmower etc. Apart...

Anyone?

I have an old shed in the garden which was there when property purchased and has electrics for 2 double 13A sockets and a strip light - also in place when bought - long time ago now. The shed is basicaly falling apart and I want to replace it. Thats the easy bit - its the electrics giving me...

I've taken the view that I don't need the test gear to tell me whether or not the bath is an extraneous conductive part in these circumstances as, there being no supp bonding in place, that such was required and that has been done today and yes, I have included the bath. It seemed the simplest...

Thank you B-A-S but I think you have either misread what I have written or I have been unclear. I'll assume it to be the latter. So to take your points in turn: Not so. My judgement is that replacing like for like is not notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. My judgement is...

Thanks Flameport that just about sums it up nicely. So what would you do in my position if the Client suggests "just forget the certificate I just want the fan and cabinet installed"? Remember he's paying me to do this.

Thanks TTC thats the problem. How can I sign to say it conforms to Wiring regs if I'm not qualified to do so? The thing I keep coming back to, though, is that this is a rental property with a sitting tenant. If there is no MWC at the end how does the landlord (my client) demonstrate his...

Ta Spot on! Don't think my multimeter counts and its been eons since it was calibrated.

I'm not qualified to do the testing. :cry:

Of course not :P. But as its steel shouldn't it be bonded?

Well as the circuits aren't changing and therefore no RCD requirement (am I correct on this?) I think supplementary bonding should be put in place particularly as its a steel bath going in. Would you agree? As that on its own is notifiable thats probably my lever to get me mate Keith in for...

Yes thats what i'm driving at and why I seek advice. Pull cord - just like the existing light. Yes I raised these items precisely because I have considered them and am seeking advice please. Thanks.

I fit bathrooms and invariably use a Part P sparks to do the electrics. In the one I am doing right now the fan needs changing and the client has advised he wants to change the existing light/shaver socket for an illuminated bathroom cabinet (no shaver socket). The fan is (only just) in...

This one - Plumbing section! He got banned over Easter :twisted:
