Ahhhhhhh Thanks for the personal insult - you lost the argument there. I should remember not to feed the trolls - sigh..... 'Ignored' & 'Blocked' :D

I couldn't disagree more. You are not one of the huge majority in this country who have no idea whatsoever that any legislation exists. You ask 'what disagreement' - then point one example out? Huh?

I quite agree - however back in the real world - the general public just aren't aware of any 'laws' associated with notifiable electrical work. Huh? I suspect if you ask your average member of the public what they would need to do if they wanted to build an extension - new dwelling...

The opinions on here just goes to show me what an absolute shambles this legislation is... Just how is an uninformed member of the public expected to fair? I am fairly clued up - hence my questioning the credentials. All of my family & immediate friends hadn't a clue what Part P was when I...

Thanks for the replies people :) Needless to say we didn't take him up on his quote. If I hadn't have raised the question the job would have gone ahead (illegally) and we would have ended up in the s**t no doubt. Makes you wonder just how much notifiable work does indeed go un-notified...

Hi all Received a quote from a spark to change an old fused CU & VOELCB over to a new unit and upgrade the earthing. However I've found out he isn't Part P certified - but says he can Part P it for an extra £140 on top of the £490 for the job. He's changing it over to a board with all MCBs...

Hi - thanks for the replies :D The view is intended from the road - the door to the right is on the pavement. It is the pavement / street that slopes - the ground to the left of the house has an almost imperceivable slope. The door will be removed and the opening built up to form a...

Hi Tony Thanks for that. Any pointers as to how it should be depicted? It isn't shown on the original plans for the house (1980) but there is a definite if very shallow slope. Thanks again!

Err - who's Tony :?:

Hi all Just a quickie... I'm about to submit a planning application for my house. It sits side on to the street which is sloping. How should I show this in the drawing? Do I show the street angle (in red) - and the building behind as a dotted line like this: Or do I just show it all...

Cheers Woody I intend installing a sectional garage door - the channels of which sit on the inside wall - so I guess it would look something like this? On the other side of the door a slim wall will need to be built which will abut to an existing cavity wall. How should this be...

Just a quick question regarding the construction / insulation detail for a garage extension & change of use proposal. I am proposing to extend my existing attached garage - and apply for a change of use to a part of the existing garage into a habitable space. The existing garage wall is...
