I'm wanting to extend the upstairs ring main in my 3 bedroom house. The house is 3 years old and the electrics are as when I bought the house new. On the upstairs ring there are three sockets in each bedroom, two on the landing and one in the loft. The idea is to add one further socket to each room via the loft by using the socket in the loft to extend the ring main. This would mean the cable will go round the edge of the loft.
A friend who is an electrician would be doing the work. As he works more on the commercial side for a company he does not issue installation certificates himself. Can anyone advise on whether this work is notifiable and if an installation certificate is needed seeing as it is breaking into an existing ring main. Also would the size of the ring main be a problem seeing as the size would be doubled?
I just want to be clear of things myself before anything is done. Thanks for any advice.
