Is that the same as the 'part P' notification? if so, then yes, I intend to have the work inspected and officially signed off (part P certificate issued) once done.

You are quite correct. I do not have access to or have ever read the actual BS7671 document. The cost of purchase (£90+VAT) is rather high in proportion to the cost of the materials needed for the job. I have seen various documents online that have BS7671 in the title, but seem little more than...

I would be happy to just clip it to the mortar joint with cable clips but I have been told that this would not meet regulations these days?

I would like to fit a couple of LED floodlights along the house external wall and have been given to understand that the electrical cable needs to be run inside of a conduit of some sort. I would like to ask what sort of conduit I will require in order to meet current standards please?

The landing socket is protected my a 16A MSB. The boiler circuit is protected by a 6A MSB which probably explains the 1.5mm cable. Both circuits are on a bank protected with a 30ma RCD. .

I did wonder about that. It could be arranged that way with a bit of additional wiring. The original cable from the bedroom socket would have to be replaced with a new run from said socket through the wall and around the airing cupboard up to the switch/fuse panel. A second run would go back...

I would like to add a socket into the attic, primarily for running radio kit. e.g. a couple of Raspberry Pi and/or small form factor PC and for the purpose intend to install a double socket. I have read that one can take a spur off an existing socket, but one can't take a spur off a spur. My...
