So?Sorry but it does come under the control of the building regs as it is an outside application
Inside or outside is irrelevant - wherever it is it has to comply with the Building Regulations, as they apply to any work whatsoever on fixed electrical cables or fixed electrical equipment located on the consumer’s side of the electricity supply meter which operate at low or extra-low voltage and are—
(a) in or attached to a dwelling;
(b) in the common parts of a building serving one or more dwellings, but excluding power supplies to lifts;
(c) in a building that receives its electricity from a source located within or shared with a dwelling; or
(d) in a garden or in or on land associated with a building where the electricity is from a source located within or shared with a dwelling.
It might, it might not. If it doesn't then it will contravene P1, and therefore not be allowed.Just repairing something to reinstate it back to how it was doesn't make it safe.
No.When I moved in my shed was wired up from the house's lighting circuit to 2 double outlets and a strip light using 2.5mm twin and earth clipped to the fence. Now would you consider it safe to just replace that cable because it was there before.
I don't see what point you are trying to make....
They can't do that if you don't understand them, and so far I don't think you do...Believe it or not sometimes the regs are actually there to protect you.
