electric towel rail hookup

[jono5000]

Hi all

Just a little advice needed please.

I am in the process of doing up my bathroom. I have had all the electrics done including wiring for an electric towel rail (I'm still in the process of deciding what I want).

Currently there is a switched FCU outside the bathroom extending to a blank plate in the bathroom approx where I want the towel rail to be. Inside the plate is just a block connector where I connect the flex of the towel rail.

Now the thing is, all this wiring has been done by an NCIECI spark and I believe he's contacted the relevant bodies. However would they need to be notified again for hooking up the towel rail to the block connector.

Likewise, when I connect a shaver socket to already notified spur? Surely I don't need another spark to come out, its just a case of screwing the wires into the pre-existing ones. All circuits protected and recorded.

Strictly speaking yes.

But if you already had a towel rail installed, and you replaced it, you wouldn't need to notify, so you need to ask yourself how likely it is that anybody would ever know.

Likewise, when I connect a shaver socket to already notified spur? Surely I don't need another spark to come out, its just a case of screwing the wires into the pre-existing ones. All circuits protected and recorded.

Again yes, this is notifiable.

And again if you were replacing an old shaver socket it would not be.

Go figure
