Hello,
Researching the costs of a consumer unit change. I could easily upgrade the wiring in our house & consumer unit. I am not certified by a regulation that would consider me as a competent person I suppose (despite having an Electronic Engineering Degree).
If I were to do the work myself and have it tested I'd need to do the following:
1. Notify building control of works
2. re-wire and change consumer unit over
3. Pay for a registered person to test and certify
4. Conclude building control application
Or I could just pay for an electrician to do it.
But having just seen that the building control application costs £450, is there any incentive to do this myself and just let a registered person do it?
