Hello.
I've just started having a conservatory built in my garden and I had planned to put in 3 double sockets (2 attached to the ring and one from a 13A FCU), 2 lights running from a 3A FCU, a 2 way switch to control a fountain pump and garden spotlights, and a 13A FCU running to the shed.
I had already wired up my shed, pump, and garden spotlights before the conservatory was built and before 1st Jan 2005.
From what I have read on here and some other sites, it appears this kind of work requires Part P testing as some of it extends into the garden.
I have 3 questions:
1) Can I perform all the work according to the regs (BS7671 etc) myself and get it tested after by a "Competent Person" to get the certificate?
2) Would I have to only get the NEW stuff that ONLY extends into the garden tested?
2) Do I have to inform the council?!
Cheers.
Paul.
