Hi all,
We've built a new extension and building control have said that as we've kept the exterior wall and door in place (as it's just a larger replacement of an old conservatory) that we won't need building control as such and they're happy to sign it off however I want 2 x 2 Gang electrical sockets (just for a couple of lamps and maybe a laptop charger) and a single socket for a 1500w Oil Filled Radiator in there which they've said I'll need to make sure i get an electrician in to do so I've had 3 electricians around to quote me but even though they were aware there are only 3 sockets to put in I've not heard anything back even though I've chased them all up so.....we're at the point where we need to start papering so I'm wondering if I can put the sockets in and then connect them up and get an electrician to come in and test them and would that suffice?
There is a single gang socket on the wall of the kitchen next to the new room where one of the electricians said he would just run a spur off so I'm happy I can do that but will this be ok ?
I've got no problem paying for this from an electrician and I don't want to bypass any regs but I'm just wanting to get the room done.
Thanks in advance.
