    Part P latest regs and what building control have told me.

    Sorry missed this bit, I did discuss this during the initial officers visit, at this stage i had already removed the socket in preparation and he did say then that only an approved sparky could do the electrics, I don’t mind either way. Compliance or wether I’m capable is second to safety...
