Hi everyone. Just a quick question:
I’ve just started fitting out my integrated garage workshop (I do quite a lot of metalwork) and am about to start getting quotations for a new electrical supply in there (dedicated mini consumer unit, sockets every 6-feet, etc).
As the garage is my pride and joy I’m quite fussy about conduit runs and sockets being perfectly level, etc. so I’d ideally like to mount the back boxes and run all the round conduit myself before handing over all the wiring and connections to the electrician. To be clear: I wouldn’t touch a single bit of cable, just the conduit and plastic boxes.
My query is whether this is permitted and would the electrical installer still be able to self certify his work if an amateur had put the plastic conduit in?
Of course i’ll discuss with him in advance, and also ensure that the conduit itself complied with current regs but just wanted to make sure this approach is OK before going out for quote.
Thank you!
