[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 26501, member: 7"] I think you will find that you can NEVER use that arguement for the safety of an electrical installation. do you have a copy of EAWR? (it is in there.) it is the ONLY regs you MUST work to and it IS STATUTORY, unlike 7671 which is only guidance. cost is never a factor in electrical safety, as far as is reasonable practical, well that is covered in section 16 of EAWR also, remember, its your ass on the line when it goes to court. it is actually illegal to instal an electricity consuming system WITHOUT taking into consideration other users of the network, (have at look at your providers T&C) so you MUST take into consideration your neighbours installation as well as your own. lightning is also well covered in the regs as well, although perhaps if you do mainly domestic you may not have come across the preventative measures yet, but the regs are there for it.
