Hi all,
So when I bought my house my father and I took a look at the kitchen and decided that the sockets in there were insufficient and poorly positioned. Having done lots of DIY before, and the house being empty at the time, we set to work and installed some new sockets using the appropriate cabling etc.
This was in 2006 and I didn't realised that electrical installations in the kitchen have to be carried out by qualified people. It's an honest mistake, and quite frankly what we put in is much better than any of the wiring in the rest of the house. For example, the lighting ring dates back to prehistoric times and has no earth, but because that is pre-2005 it's ok.
Is there a mechanism for gettting DIY work like this inspected and signed off?
Thanks
