thanks for your response, what are your thoughts about positioning the FCU. I assume it would provide the most robust protection when placed close to the socket the spur is off, trouble is this means an unsightly FCU in a bedroom. I could fit a plug to the pump with a single gang socket in the...

People, As mentioned in a previous post, my house recently had the electrics signed off to 16th edition. Question is, (and Im not trying to fuel a debate here!), is the creation of a spur from an existing upstairs ring to power a shower pump in the loft notifiable? If it isn't notifiable...

I have used the spark in mind before. I will remove all required floorboards so he can examine cable routeing, and he is of course free to remove all socket fronts. If it really comes to it, he can re-pull through any cables and reterminate. I will have installed all the backboxes which seems...

I believe I am able to do the work myself, I may get a spark in to look over (and if need be) certify the job at a later stage. I am adding around 4 double gang sockets, I have purchased a box sinker and have installed lots of electrical work before so I feel comfortable doing it. I will...

Jesus!! what a debate I have started here!!! To clarify, the ring that requires alteration is RCD protected and has all been signed off by an electrician. Does this clear things up at all people???"!?!?!?!

People, Your assistance has been very much appreciated. Do you think it would be prudent to consult my local building control to advise them of my proposed alterations (perhaps adding a copy of this thread) and see if they can provide confirmation that I do not have to notify them...

Thanks guys, I am going to visit the granite suppliers tomorrow to discuss what they propose to do. I am visiting them with a balanced, open mind to resolve this, but also with a view to what options I have should they decline to offer to do anything

Kes, thanks for your advice. It is solid granite, however the head man was not on site. I have therefore rejected it. It def feels slightly rough as if the very top was lifted during polishing

Dear All, Today we were to have granite worktops fitted in our kitchen. The granite is "galaxy black" which is black with copper flecks in. Upon arrival we noted that there was a patch about the size of a jam jar lid that appeared to be rougher in texture, it certainly felt like the very...
