It is my personal opinion that this site has been set to help DIYers with everyday electrical problems that can occur around the house not to design circuits.
I see, I was under the impression that it wasnt do it yourself (except where it a big job then bottle it and pay someone else)
If I am thinking logically I spent 7 years training to do what I do and paid over 20k to get certified (First Class BSc, CCNA, CCVP, MSTSC, MCP and so on...) and I see others who did not go to this trouble as my industry is not regulated performing sub standard installs/designs and it gets my back up after the hard work I've put in so I know my stuff. On the other hand as a householder whos purchased his first house and doesnt have a lot of cash flow but plenty of spare time if it costs less to perform the install myself, which i think personally is a silly situation, then why wouldn't I choose that option. I am not dumb and if id decided to be an electrician when I left school I wouldn't be here.
I don't want someone to pop up and design it for me I only want advice on what I have allready proposed.
I personally think that this is a Do It Yourself forum and as such, where the law permits, then people should expect to see posts for advice like mine. I won't do anything illegal,
I wont knowingly do anything unsafe and I am asking what may seem like simple questions but I have spent 5 hours a night for the last 2 weeks reading about what I am planning and sometimes internet hearsay isn't enough when you want reliable advice I simply want to clarify some points which someone with experience would probably be able to answer whereas I may need to spend 2 hours googling and find inaccurate information.
I am looking at this as a sideline to make some money on the weekends to pay back the cost of registering, qualifying and my insurance which means I could potentially by year end have only paid the cost of the materials to do a full re-wire.
So to clarify I would like to know kindly.
1. What you would charge for this job roughly, design as first diagram with the addition of a dedicated feed for the boiler fridge and alarm. There will be 2 double sockets per bedroom upstairs (6) and 3 double sockets in the kitchen with 3 double sockets in the living room giving a total of 12 sockets. Lighting will be as is apart from the existing dining room light switch ( soon to be part of a kitchen diner) will need to be wired to the light in the kitchen as well as the the one point existing in the dining room.
2. What kind of CU you would recommend for my proposed design.
3. If there is any requirement for smoke alarms to be hardwired in.
4. This will be a partial re-wire as the exisitng ring final wil be extended and re-used to supply upstairs, while two new circuits supply downstairs are there any special requirements that I may not be aware of.
Thanks again for reading.
