Hello, I am very new to this forum and this is my first post - Hence I would be immensly grateful for all your replies. I am having my house renovated. I have a written contract with a builder who has subcontracted the rewiring work. The electrician confessed not to be registered with any governing body (e.g. NICEIC, NAPIT etc) and decided not to complete the job (he confessed he was going to get me a Part P certificate from his 'brother'. The Builder then subcontracted the completion to another electrician who is registered with a governing body. I been reading on the internet that sockets and wall switches should be between 45cm (min) and 120cm (max) above floor level. I have measured all the distances and they are out by approx 5cm through out the out. In the kitchen, the cables for the wall unit lights are running horizontally. He has wired up the outside security light to the wall switch of the kitchen spot lights (hence the security light is de-energised when the spot lights are off!). There is no spur/switch for this security light. Nor is there a spur for the ouside double socket. Some of the wall lights are permanently on and some are permanently off (regarless of switch position. I have tested these with a multimeter. Electrician is arguing there are no regulations about this and refusing to put in spurs/switches and correct the wall lights/switches. The builder tells me I will have to pay extra for this extra work. Please advise how best to tackle this - I am trying to avoid escalation of this problem.
