Hi All,
I have a spark coming to check out my old consumer unit (it has 4 old fuses ,cooker,sockets and 2 lights) . I am in the very slow process of a loft conversion,(sourcing here and there) and know I will need a new consumer unit,and another one fittted later for the loft.
Is there anything I can expect from the guy ( as I will be dumb where electrics are involved), does he need to be part P, does he have to sign the job off,do building regs need to be informed( I know they do ,regarding the loft conversion but if the guy is part P and certifies things ,do I still need to inform them?)
Hes a lad who works for a local electrical company who are called in to do electrical jobs where I work now and again, but is doing this on his own time,would this affect anything,I know it may seem dumb to ask,but im asking anyway?!
All info apreciated chaps,thanks.
