[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 524319, member: 250"] If you are a retired electrician, you will be fully aware of the relationships between H&S, EAW, BS7671 etc.. and you will understand the difference between domestic dwelling and a workplace... And how the various legal aspects interrelate to each other... You will be well aware of the design, testing, certification aspects required to verify any alteration, temporary or permanent, is electrically safe and compliant with BS7671 and thus provide adequate defence should any workplace legal issues arise.. Obviously with such knowledge, you should be able to answer your own question, without any further need to try asking again.. Your fundamental question is if it is a domestic dwelling or a place of work.. e.g. does someone earn monetary gain from other parties using goods or services provided at this premises where you intend doing electrical alteration work? All you need is someone to provide the relevant signed declarations on an electrical certificate, to give H&S executives the paper trail to undertake any investigations they consider necessary. If you can do this... And you have sufficient insurance to cover your back if it does go belly-up, then as Murdoch said, Crack On! [/QUOTE]
