Removing old circuit

[persistant1]

Hi all

Ime looking for some info with regards to removal of an old circuit that fed a power shower. I just want to know what testing would be performed if any and if a cert is required.

Thanks

how can you test or cert something that isnt there?

Well thats what i thought but since it is clasified as a major works since i am removing a circuit surely there must be some record kept of the work undertaken.

 

[Andy™]

make a note on DB schedule etc that circuit is removed. and thats about all you can do. after all, if its not there anymore, you cant document it being there. bit like going to a house and finding there is a cert to say there isnt a shower circuit wired....

could you be a bit more specific.You dont need to test a circuit if you are removing it.

Thanks mate only reason i asked is because ime joining one of the happy clubs and thought i could use it as one of my jobs for inspection since my other jobs are not 30 minutes away from each other.

i dont removing a circuit would be any use for assessment. i could easily take assessor to any house and say 'i removed a circuit. cant show you because its not here anymore, but the proof is the board label does have a circuit crossed out'

Seems a good idea but will look if i can do a job for a friend near by wich i can submit. Or else its back to breaking down walls and wiring cow sheds for me

mate check with the body you want to register with. Most of them you can do work on the house or flat that you live in for your assessment.
