Thanks I will have to ask him if he is a member of such scheme and if he is able to fill out said form. If not I guess I will be hiring someone who can or paying the LA the notice fee and then the additional inspection charge. Edit - Ignore above, obviously my friend wont be part of such...

So it would be this my friend would have to fill out? https://www.elecsa.co.uk/Documents/Public-Documents/Contractors/BS7671-Amd1-Electrical-Installation-Certificate-v2.aspx What about the testing and inspection part?

Maybe im confusing an EIC with actually passing off? I thought only registered electricians could do this hence looking into hiring one or working around it using LA My friend is a very competent guy who can easily do the job, he just cannot legally give me required documents to say work is...

I didn't think there would be an EIC certificate with C as this is the whole point in paying LA who would sub contract someone to inspect and issue EIC...

Ok thanks for the reply. A) I take it this is the most cost effective way to just hire a registered electrician who will take care of it all, I would have to ensure they notify before work starts. B) I would look at finding someone who is prepared to supervise and sign off work if me and my...

Ok so ive had this reply from LABC - Hi James If no new circuits are installed then you do not have to submit an application under the Building Regulations. If a new circuit is installed then you have two choices. Either you submit an application to the Local Authority with a fee of £264.00 or...

I will have to double check as this is the reply I got - Hello James I can confirm that the electrical work in kitchen is notifiable where the work consists of the installation of a new circuit, or the replacement of a consumer unit. If no new circuit is installed then Building Control does...

The cable was given to me for the job. I will most probably go for new circuit in kitchen as it will be easier, along with separate circuit for cooker to future proof. I will consult with mate about what else is needed as haven't discussed in detail yet but the appropriate breaker will be used...

I have got a new reel of cable to use Forgive me for being dumb but is this 1.5 or 2.5mm cable? This is the CU I can swap cable if need be but is a specific mm cable needed for radial circuit?

Ok well maybe registered was wrong word. Qualified? He works for a company which maintains a large number of well known pubs and restaurants doing maintenance and new installs.

Hi Guys I understand that current regulation state that kitchen work is no longer notifiable unless installing new circuits. I am in the process of ripping out kitchen ready for a re-fit and about to undertake 1st fix electrics (not me personally, I will be using a friend who is a registered...

Thanks for the tips! Once it's cleaned up I will be getting a plasterer in and it will be plaster boarded most likely along with the rest of kitchen as I've got a few new sockets to put in!

Hi guys. Removed chimney and need to patch up hole in first floor. Seems straightforward but just wanted to check what the best solution is. Aa you can see the one joist rests on internal wall and the trimmer joist also rests on other internal wall. Would it be best to pack gap behind joist...

Thanks! This is the bedroom And downstairs it actually goes wider [/url] Under floorboards

Hi guys Removing chimney stack from 1930s semi. Goes through middle of house and the roof and loft section has just been removed. How do I approach this next but where the bricks are tied into bedroom wall? As its every other row is it best to cut the bricks level with wall? Will this be...

Yes there will be as that is why I've chased it out in order to add a socket. Many Thanks

Yes will be at the end on the right. I have an electrician doing the wiring and I've asked for maintanence free connections where it needs to be extended so can plaster over them, I presume they will be crimped or some kind of maintanence free terminal... Thanks!

I'm putting a new socket at the end of the small chase so its directly horizontal from the one in view. The other larger chase is for radiator pipes if that's what you thought had cable in? I was under the impression the socket chase is still in a safe zone being horizontal?

I plan on chasing where the cable is now then fitting either a new single or double box flush where the current single is now. I would do it the same height as the one behind but the wall is only roughly 5.5" deep so may be risky. The cable that comes down and through wall will need to be...
