    Is this lot compliant?

    .... or the well being of the registered sparky's name that is on the certificate. I doubt he knows anything about this job :lol: Surely if a circuit has been put into service it should be certified, and if you later go an wire another circuit it would be certified seperately? :?

    Is this lot compliant?

    Are my extension electrics illegal?

    Thats correct. OSG says unfused spurs should not exceed number of socket outlets, (which means you can 1 spur from every socket). Fused spurs are unlimited (which means you can take as many sockets as you want from a 13A FCU)

    will cooker point cope with new cooker

    No it wont. The application of diversity is to assess the maximum demand of the installation as a whole. 433.1.1 says the current setting of the protective device (In) must not be less then the design current (Ib) Regards

    You could probably use something like this: http://uk.farnell.com/1344234/industrial-controls-automation/product.us0?sku=finder-801102400000 If you had 3 timers you could cascade them so that the first timer will then start the next timer as well as supplying a spot light. regards
