[QUOTE="Andy™, post: 547446, member: 2012"] there is no law stating you can't DIY. regardless of DIY or electrician, standards & building regs still need to be followed Replacing a damaged cable etc then arguably no need to any EIC / MWC. as soon as you modify, i.e install a new socket, then EIC / MWC will be required by BS7671. and you'll also need to comply with the requirements of part P (which technically means you should be installing to a well expired version of BS7671, since no one bothered to keep approved document P updated) either way, you're not getting a 99% rewire without regs and id say you have a 100% chance of your work not being to standard [/QUOTE]
