Bungalow Re-Wire - Chase up to loft or up from suspended floor void?

My experience of building control is that they are pragmatic and helpful,

Then talking to them should be no problem, should it.

I wonder who advised you to do that?

two things I have not been able to take away from any of your posts on this subject.

Clearly, it can't have been me, for I don't give pragmatic or helpful advice.

Mind you, in my defence I'd like to point out that I've been trying to advise someone who does not think that knowing about the law, about regulations, about what declarations on certificates say, about what electricians are and are not allowed to do, as pragmatic or helpful.

However, thanks for demonstrating your interpretation of the regulations.

Feel free to show where my "interpretation" is not, in fact, an accurate truth.

I can understand your negative attitude to DIYers and that you want to protect your "proffesion"

Clearly you cannot.

in fact, I am tempted to take a five-week boot camp (that’s just over a month) and join NICEIC so I can self-certify

Go for it.

Let us know how it goes.

I meet up with my contact next week I will see what he has to say on the subject, which as you say I should have done in the first place.

No - it can't have been I who said that.
