Hi all, new here, so here goes:
Just had a 2 storey side extension built (shell only), and now i intend to finish it myself completley.
With regard to the electrics, i was under the impression that i could notify build control that i was going to do this, and they would appoint me an inspector, and check it all over?
i just called them, got myself a stroppy "well we will need to appoint someone to inspect, and that might cost you approx £300, if i were you i would get an electrician in", "we have never done this before"
Am i correct, that they have to let me do it, and they have to inspect it, at their cost?
I am very happy i can do this of the required standard, and i can read, so why the heck should i bend to BC (who have already had a pile of money), for basically telling me what i know (or can find out before i go ahead)
thoughts anyone?
