[QUOTE="Beet, post: 477587, member: 31161"] I am converting a garage to a small wet room/ toilet and bedroom. The mistake I made was assuming that the Council would inspect my installation in the bath room as a competent person. Many in the early 70’s in a country that no longer exists I wired up a 4 bed house, tested by the electrical supply authority..was fault free and complied with the regulations. I also wired up a 10 kw, and 60kw 3 phase motors. The lights and 13 amp plug in the bedroom are existing installation therefore do not come into the regulations. I was surprised when the Council quoted £300.00 to do the inspection. For 2, 12 volt IP65 ceiling lights,2.1 meters above the floor and 1 m horizontally away from a shower head, a vent fan and switch, plus the consumer box rcd and mcb, I think that’s a bit steep? Is it possible to supply the bathroom from the 13amp socket with a rcd, omitting the consumer box. [/QUOTE]
