    Light switch move.

    I think the other guys are right in the respect that the 'letter of the law', ie the regs 7671, demands that an rcd or rcbo appears... but I think I'd be tempted to do it as if it were 10 months ago :D As far as i can see it can go on the MWC as a departure, as the LAW, ie Building Act 84 as...

    My Favourite Phonecalls

    There's simply NO WAY that the BI hasn't told him along the way that there will be a paperwork requirement at the end... so he's either blind/deaf/dumb or a combo, OR he got a site basher to do it... in which case it's probably ok'ish and there's an easy

    MyBuilder.com and similar sites - are they worth it

    My Builder hasn't produced anything for me... I can't see the point of being one in 19 quotes either :_| However, Rated People has produced a steady stream of back up income for me, I do between 2 - 4 jobs a month, replace CU's new cooker circuits type of stuff, a comfortably

    D.I.Y. sparks

    That's interesting batty, nice one. :) Do you actually fill in something along those lines on the "extent of installation covered by this certificate" bit?

    D.I.Y. sparks

    Elvis, a PIR doesn't confirm that new wiring installed in an extension conforms to ALL parts of the Building Act 1984, ie the law, of which Part P is part of. The BI ideally wants a member of a competent person scheme to certify it, as well as issue the EIC, because they want confirmation of...

    D.I.Y. sparks

    Quite a few points raised here. Firstly it might not be notifiable for the OP's customers dad to add a few sockets if they are extending. The requirement for 'reasonable provision' a la Part P still sticks, but the chances of anything happening about that in this scenario is zilch. Signing off...

    freesat on sky dish

    Whilst you'll get 'some' channels for free via the sky decoder set up, it won't be as many as the proper freeview box. Sky sports news and virgin 1 to name two off the cuff. And the card thing is required for channel 5, but your old card might well do the trick. The record thing, live pause...

    Where to bond?

    I thought the reg for gas was to bond within 600mm of the meter? That would be the more obvious option. Where's the meter?

    Bonding question

    Really? That's a new one for me... ! I'd always wondered what they were colour coded red and blue for... I thought it was hot & cold :D :D :D :D :D Oh well. Elecsa didn't pick up on it lol It is tucked under the white surface box though... so unlikely to get wet. Cheers guys :Y
