It appears that there may be a necessity for some sort of checklist, when going to see a job; in order to avoid missing important information.(Not just recent starters either, I just messed up by not realising the lighting circuit I had to rewire was in a flat roof, 2 storey extension, with 8 x 4 T+G bugboard on the floor )

So - Lets see if we can get something together. I`m sure others will suggest points I miss

As an aside, the "easycert" software lets you print "site survey" forms, which will allow you to note down the electrical necessities? :|

We are presupposing a domestic environment here guys, okay?

1. Is the area of works flat roofed? no we have tiled roof :^O

2. Is the works notifiable? not to my knowedge

3. Supply type, main switch & C.U. TNCS and yes to main switch and c/u thanks :^O

4. Are main bonds in place? Yes i have checked them they are 10mm green and yellow stripy cables

5. If lighting circuit, and property wiring could be early `70`s, check the wiring isn`t 2 core (no cpc) already rewired the whole place

6. While you`re in the house, look for obvious damage to sockets, switches, ancient pendants, etc. no damage to any point in house or outside

7. How much furniture are you likely to have to move around? :^O

8. What are the walls made from (brick, timber, stone? internal block, stud, brick, lath?) studded walls/plaster boards up stairs flooor, and brick walls and plastered finish downstairs

9. Accessibility to the loft. Levels of insulation present ( esp. if you`ll be fitting a shower!) about 4 inches of insulation and loft although a complete tip you can get in there if you clamber over all the crap :^O

10. If you think major works are required, and the cabling may be >30n years old, take the cover off the fuse box. Ensure you`re dealing with pvc, not VR or lead! i rewired the whole house 5 years ago

11. Asbestos. Be aware of it. It is in so many things (including artex, up until the early `90`s!!) no asbestos here me laddy :^O

12. If you`re adding an electric shower, outbuilding or large load, ensure the supply will be capable of taking it! we have a 60 amp supply and havent yet blown the fuse...ooops till now :^O

13. Check for "hidden" sockets, PIR lighting, aerial amplifiers hidden in the loft! They`ll throw your Ins readings. no hidden sockets me matey chappy :^O

I have been provided with a list of common works, and the expected lengths of time for carrying them out, by one of our members. I will post it shortly, as an attachment to this thread.
