When you applied for Building Regulations approval, what did you say, or allow to be assumed, would be the way you'd comply with Part P?It's a single ring direct from the cu with no spurs, in a very simple loft conversion
Two pc's so max 2000w,
Why would they do that if you hadn't told them what your route to assuring compliance with part P will be?As regards part p and building control, nothing. they'll inspect at first fix and inspect and test at second fix,
Probably not, but that wouldn't be a good way, or a good time, to find out that something was amiss.I'm very sure should anything be amiss they'd not be shy about speaking up.
You said "they'll inspect at first fix and inspect and test at second fix". For free? Without knowing that they need to?I'm not entirely decided about to do it myself because it incurs such a high cost above building control prices.
Yes, but that CPC redundancy is the only advantage and not the reason the ring was devised. You can fit an additional CPC to any circuit if you want.pros and cons of radials/ring and the point about a damaged ring was made- going undetected because of the return redundancy but still earthed due to that Whereas a radial wouldn't be.
Indeed.No not for free, it costs £255, its on top of the building control fee. Its specifically for people who are not registered as competent persons.
and asked other questions, all of which indicate that you are going to DIY.That was the purpose of the cable routing question, I wouldn't want to route the cable in some way that was frowned upon to have to undo and redo.
They'll do what they think they need to to satisfy themselves that the work complies with Part P. They won't issue an EIC.As I can't issue any certification to say what I've done is either safe or to the regulations, building control ( I presume they'll sub it out) will inspect, test and issue cert specifically for the electrical installation
Thanks, you've convinced me.Yes, but that CPC redundancy is the only advantage and not the reason the ring was devised. You can fit an additional CPC to any circuit if you want.
It is a disadvantage with damaged live co
There is definitely no need, supply-wise, for a ring to a loft.
