Firstly, I am getting this inspected by Building Control's electricians, I'm not just going to leave it unchecked. I also read the 17th edition and have generally stayed well under maximum cable loads and lengths. But just wondered if I'd made any big mistakes? Does it look too messy in the box, or does that not matter? I think I left the main tails a bit long but was worried I'd cut them too short and then be in a right mess...
I bought the board and RCBO/MCBs new, and have ripped out all the old wiring. It's mainly an RCBO setup with a radial MCB circuit for computer and a MCB ring dedicated to the electric oven, but I reckon I've got them both over 50mm deep over their whole run so think that's ok.
Any howlers before I let building control do their worst...?
--- Update: I've just had the first fix and it all got signed off fine. Not expecting any problems with the second fix. Getting all the boxes in for a complete rewire took longer than I'd thought though, it's a big job, especially if you want fancy lighting and loads of new sockets. Based on this though, I'd say standardish domestic wiring is definitely doable and the inspector didn't raise any problems at all. Only thing is I think it might be trickier if you're trying to change an existing wiring setup, I think it was much easier ripping it all out and starting from scratch.
