Yes, but I have fitted 12V LED emergency lighting, rather than use an inverter: Linkstyle 4PCS 12V Interior LED Light Bar

Does the Estimate/Quotation or Invoice state anywhere (including in the small print on the back) something like "All work carried out in accordance with BS7671:2018" or similar? Cos if it does then he owes you the EIC at no extra charge. In any event, working to that standard is a condition of...

Issuing the EIC to the person ordering the work is a requirement of BS7671 and until he issues that certificate, his work does not comply. There is no way on earth he should be charging extra for this. Membership of NICEIC is neither here nor there as far as the EIC is concerned, If he's not...

You need to engage your electrician and discuss with him what cable size is required and how much of the work he is happy for you to do. He's the one who has to sign the certificate saying that he designed, installed and tested the work.

300 million is 300 thousand thousands. How long ago it was is not really the point, is it? It's the rate of sequestration versus the rate of release back into the atmosphere that matters.

Of course it is! By burning fossil fuels we are taking carbon that has been stored over 1000's of years and releasing it back into the atmosphere over several decades.

Unless he knew his year 5 arithmetic: 333.33 recurring mm

Yes, I agree That's not the point.

Really? 2400 joules per second per hour? And Rirstead is wrong too. Come on, this O Level physics fgs!

That's a condition of their registration with a trade body. At their choice.

Except that they have the choice of entering into such a contract, or not. So they are not compelled to comply.

P drop, Not sure you've grasped the fact that, with the exception of rented properties covered by Landlord regulations, from a legal point of view, almost nobody has to comply with what BS7671 or the IET say. Get several quotes, go with the one you prefer.

I'd say that a junction box behind a radiator is not accessible so it needs to be a maintenance free JB. I've never seen any that will fit in a 2-gang backbox

Yes, that's my conclusion having looked at the graphic on them.

Yeah, they're about £100 inc. each. So £900+ labour. Not actually that much in terms of the amount of other work needed on the building in preparation for a new, fully repairing, lease.
