If you don't have any glands then stopping at the box and entering via a grommetted hole would work ok - both cables in the same conduit is best to save extra chasing but if you really wanted to run 2 pieces of plastic oval then theres nothing wrong with it I guess :)

Will work as well but I'm sure it cost you a whole lot more to buy :/ I would stick a fixing in there at each drop...

Of course the lights may be over 3m and outwith the zones....

How badly is it corroded? Chop the bad bit off, re-terminate and test to see how good an earth you get then decide if it's ok. You can pick up that earth when it's terminated using a banjo clip etc so shouldn't be a problem if the SWA is in useable nick (I would use SWA to garage then conduit...

Probably not the sort of heater you had in mind but if the room is small then the tubular type heater are ok http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Heating_Index/Tubular_Heaters/index.html

Details from a college here: "The Course fee is £435 and includes Course Notes, a copy of Inspection & Testing Guidance Note 3 (Second Edition), City & Guild’s written Examination Fee. The 3 Hour one-to-one assessment test is an additional £120." That will get you your 2391 part 1...

Then they would say it's dangerous - is it then change it or court to prove otherwise - them using BS7671 to make their case

Not exactly what I was getting at - how can marking it as a departure get around the insprectors?

...but surely this would be considered unsafe and failed by the inspector? Unless maybe a RCD socket? What I want to know is if they believe it unsafe how do they argue the case with you? Take you to court?

No! Is there space in the ceiling above - how is it fixed to the ceiling? You could use connector strip or a small junction box to make the connections depending on space.

Most were real unfortunately (as far as I know) - apart from Adams 'spoon socket' - these guys are available for installs at good rates ;)

Sorry worded badly but what I was getting at when the council inspect and test they will be following 7671 - also need to issue certs to same standards. I realise it doesn't violate Part P directly as it says 1 way to comply is use 7671 (or words to those effects)

If he installs a double socket in the bathroom he won't satisfy Part P no matter what standards he works to. I know a double shaver socket is fine but a double skt outlet was implied hence why i queried bans comment :/

In case you never noticed you've not to try these techniques at home - the MODS wanted that pointed out just incase you decided they were good ideas ;)

Sorry....was getting at the fact that 99% of DIY'ers in that position would go ahead and do it anyway - probably because they aren't aware of Part P or the likes.... D- for me...must try harder :oops:

Happy 60th!! Cheers!

Am I missing something? Or was that referring to a double shaver outlet?

So you guys are saying he should install a double socket (not double shaver skt) in his bathroom?

What's it going to be used for? Will you get a box that has a lid so you open to reach switch? How will you maintain the IPX rating if you need to drill it to fit the switch?
