Loft conversion nearing an end now - got a couple of questions that will help me decide if I need to pull the builder up on some points :
1. Wiring - in the eaves we have a little storage space - there are some electrical cables running in here that are not clipped down - should I insist this is done (i.e. is it in some sort of regs?), do it myself, or is that fine? Just thinking that if we do pull things in and out of that space it will be better if they are secured.
2. Extractor fan in bathroom - there is no ducting and when I asked the electrician when it was fitted he said it's not needed because roof void itself is vented - this one concerns me most.
Advice is greatly appreciated - it's easy as a homeowner to go too far one way or another - insist on silly things that aren't required, or be fobbed off by a builder who wants to get off the job and get paid!
Cheers.
