As I can use use the plug to isolate the undercupboard light from the lighting circuit, I did not want to use a FCU, as the undercupboard lights are on the kitchen lighting circuit, so did not want to have unnessary fuses.

Wow, such detailed photo's, Have been browsing through them for the past half hour and a few pix made me laugh.
We have just had our kitchen ripped out and new one fitted and your missus must have the same mind set as mine.
No sooner have you fitted the wall units and bang, the plates go there, the cups will go there, the cook books can go there, Plus when the doors go on i can put my plant on that corner unit....
It doesn't matter that the kitchen still has random pieces of wall falling off and a partly laid floor, they just wanna get the pots put away ???

Been looking forward to seeing the completed kitchen and electrics, Not done yet MDB ?
No offence MDbalson what the heck is that 'wiring' running to and from the shed?
It sure as hell isnt armoured cable and if thats a finished product I suggest you put off the BCI for a while
That bypasses nearly all electrical regs ever invented

The sink side is nearly done now, & the cooker side is almost complete, I will try to get some more pictures up soon, (as my internet been playing up lately)
If I were you I would gequalified electrician in to check what you are doing. I am no sparks but what you are doing looks a bit short of the regs and by the way I think you are doing more than you are allowed to by the new wiring laws!
Just be careful electricity is a killer!!

You are still allowed to do a rewire yourself, but you have to notify your local BCO, before you start the work. They will come and inspect 2 times, and when the rewire is done they will come to test & inspect the work & will give you a test cect. You will have to pay a fee to your BCO.
Do you have your own set test instruments ? Its important to do the dead test before the supply goes on.
Yes I have got a Insulation/ Continuity Tester, which I have used to test the Kitchen Ring before I temperly connected it as part of the Downstairs Ring (This is until the new 19 way CU is put in. As at the moment I am using the old 4 way RCD CU for now. In the old RCD CU the 1st MCB is the Cooker 32A, 2nd MCB is the Upstairs Ring 32A, 3rd MCB is the Downstairs & Kitchen Ring 32A, & the 4th MCB is the Shed & Shed Freezer Power 16A. All of the lighting circuits are plugged into a 4 way extension lead plugged into the Downstairs Ring)
i think hes been on a sparky course like ive been on c&g 2330 but your right hes not qualified to be messing with electrics in kitchens if hes not covered by part p
Yes you are right I have been on the C&G 2330 L2 course. But you do not need to be qualified to do electrics in your own house, you can still do your own electrics, but you have to noticify your local BCO before you start the noticifable electrical work, & they come & inspect twice the work you are doing, & then they will come & Test your work when you have completed it, & they will give you a test cert for the new work.
