[QUOTE="truffle pig, post: 524344, member: 34676"] Its not "illegal" ie, by doing this you could not be carried off by the police. However, it would be against regulations and as such, if there was a problem you would be held accountable and potentially charged with negligence. As for whether you could do it as a retired sparky - Im a qualified sparks and although I could do a visual check, without the appropriate test equipment I could not verify that the circuit was safe (ZS / IR readings and RCD tripping times ETC). Surely the question is not "is it legal" more "is it worth the risk for the sake of a few quid" especially with children around [/QUOTE]
