    fitting lintel and building control

    I've just had the very same thing done. 1.8 meter structural single brick wall taken out that supports ends of rafters, and a catnic put in. Luckily my partner knows a structural engineer who "sized up" the catnic. I used a BHD100 which is rated at 39Kn up to 2700mm opening. The structural...

    Yep, that sounds about right JohnW2. I would be doing the work that I'm allowed under his supervision. He has told me that he would NOT sign it off if its not done to Part P regs. Many Thanks.

    Earth spike for outbuilding?

    I have just spoke to Building Control regarding this, and provided the installation is done by a Part P electrician who is a member of NICEEC, the work can be notified by this electrician after the work has been completed. I'm not getting into an argument with you, I don't doubt that you are...

    Earth spike for outbuilding?

    I guess that would be the electrician who's going to connect it all up. All I will be doing is the dirty work. Chasing walls, fitting back boxes and running and fixing cables. I will have someone in to fit a New cu and terminate all the sockets etc. thanks all for the replies. I'm going to...

    Earth spike for outbuilding?

    He's a neighbour of a trusted work colleague, he says he's contracted to do it all the time. Maybe I should check him out? Can't imagine someone taking on a job like that without the relevant qualifications? He is coming round to look at it, I'll ask him (politely) then. Regarding the...
