[QUOTE="Specialist01269, post: 42199, member: 2634"] Guys: What exactly is Part P stopping? there is no way of forcing people to notify & from what i've seen there are still as many bodgers out there doing work, whether masquerading as sparks or doing DIY. I went to a shop last week to do a repair on a machine & they asked me to look at a light that was dead, god what a shambles: Live wires taped together in the fittings, bare earths, bare live wires just pushed into the backs of switches & 1mm T&E tapped off the back of a socket to feed some extra lights etc. As both the shop & flat above are fed from the same meter then this should have been notified & inspected but obviously wasn't, so once again Part P & the threat of the consequences for not notifying etc has failed to stop the butchery. The only thing it definately has done is put a lot of good sparks off doing house wiring because they are so sick of the Red tape & having to fork out more money.X( X( Andy. [/QUOTE]
