Hi, just about to re-wire a cooker/hob in my kitchen.. I know.. part p notifiable.. special location before anybody says lol. Just want an oppinion though. 6mm dedicated circuit to 45a double pole cooker isolator above worktop, then 6mm to 1 of these...

Thats fair enough then lol, just the question regarding.. what if it comes to light when you sell your house.. and the solicitor demands certificates for the work that dont exist?

So, what your saying is then, that as long as what people have done is safe and poses no danger to themselves or anybody else.. preferebly done within the regulations.. the council cant enforce part p? and that people shouldnt worry about going through building control etc because if they dont...

lol, I certainly wouldnt want to throw my money away and go through all this hastle with the council if it wasnt necessary, thing is, alot of this stuff has been caused by people who attempt DIY electrics without any kind of knowledge.. it goes wrong, they burn their house down, injure...

wonder how many other people are in your situation, maybe somebody should start up a group, multiple people fighting the same cause is better than a single person. As it is not right that people doing DIY electrics is completely written off, no dis-respect to electricians who do a great job...

Hi, thanks, will get the on site guide as well:) have you tried the contact details on this page? http://www.communities.gov.uk/planningandbuilding/buildingregulations/circularscircular/divisionalcircularletters/buildingregulationspart/ your LABC is not following the rules, and the...

Hi, dont have anything against electricians, I appreciate you are all trained, and doing this kinda thing day in, day out and are fully qualified and specialise in this area of work. just, in my case the work will be done of an evening and weekends in my own time, and im not one of these...

I have just read this, on a government website, "This means in our opinion that local authorities do not have the power to require householders to retain an electrician to test and certificate the work in accordance with BS 7671. Local authorities which have adopted such a practice should...

hmm, might need to go the more expensive route then with building control then, I dont mind leaving the cables exposed along their entire length for inspection, id have to do that anyway for building control.. just need to be able to do alot of the work myself as alot of it would be done...

I wasnt aware many electricians would do a supervised installation, whereby they advise, come in and check the work as its done? thought most will only do all the work themselves so they can sign it off as their own. If I can find an electrician to come in and inspect the work as I go along...

Hi, just a quick question. going to be fitting a new kitchen soon, and will be rewiring it, now in keeping with 17th edition it will need to be RCD/RCBO protected, but the consumer unit current is the old fused wire type. Im going down the route of building control, because it will...

http://www.elecsa.co.uk/assessment_help.aspx Hi, just been reading there.. and under requirements for Part P Self Certification Scheme membership it says, On the day of your assessment, the assessor will meet you at your place of business. The assessor is looking to make a judgement on...

dont know if it is a mock up board lol.. followed the link where the image is being taken from.. and its some DIY site... rather than a companies own promotional image as far as I can see. Nothings wrong with empty MCBs, just they serve no purpose being there and its neater if blanked off lol...

That is shocking:S where did you find that?.. all the government fuss over part p.. and this kinda thing still goes on in the trade. Wires a complete mess No Dual RCD Protection, or RCBOs on individual circuits. Missing Busbar by the looks of things.. or could just be hidden. No Busbar...

Corgi only covers gas work, so technically you can install the boiler as well providing a registered gas instaler disconnects the gas supply from the old boiler.. and connects it up to the new 1 again, then commissions it. As apart from the gas you would only be connecting water pipes...

Hi, just a quick query about them, previous to 17th edition, I understand it as most installations had the RCD Protecting Sockets only.. presumebly mainly because not only that was a requirement.. but also so that if a socket tripped the RCD it didnt knock out the lighting? on the new...

Just a quick query, for this kind of job industrial working, if the person/ company has proper insurance, follows 17th edition regulations, has test equipment which is properly calibrated, and follows the relevant electrical safety requirements.. like in this topic, the person is working on...

Hi, just out of curiosity, anybody know any where specific these can be purchased from?

I have actually contacted the manufacturer of the PSU on this matter, and they state that at full load, it does use up to 10Amp @ 250V which is why its written on there...@125V it uses up to 15 Amp

Yes there is a problem with the choice of the MCB.. but the cable wouldnt of been dangerous.
