To Notify or Not to Notify, that is the question...

[avinalarf]

Hello all

Just went to look at a job. Client wants an additional socket spurred from an existing.

I would spur from a socket outlet within the kitchen (notifiable area) to go through the wall into the dining area (not normally notifiable) as this is the easiest route and the small kitchen is on it

i would say it needs notified, since you have done some work inside the kitchen

Someone here used to have a sig. line: "If in doubt, there IS no doubt."

Sums it up well, IMO; if you`re unsure, notify it. Its only 5 mins and a couple of quid.......

Extension of a circuit that is within a kitchen is notifiable.

As the socket-outlet is not going in the kitchen, there is no need to notify.

Not all work in kitchens requires notification. Replacement of cables and accessories is not notifiable for example.

So if I have a ring main serving the whole house I can't spur off in the sitting room as the circuit is also serving a kitchen?

If you go through the back of the existing socket then there shouldn't be anything to notify. If there is any change in a kitchen then do so.

No?

Absolute rubbish. Without carrying out work in the kitchen the new socket would not work - how can it NOT be notifiable!

The alteration to the circuit ORIGINATES in the kitchen.

Installing a spur in the sitting room should not affect the part of the circuit serving the kitchen since you would have a duty of care to ENSURE that the alteration was carried out safely.

So you are allowed to replace socket-outlets and cables in a kitchen without notification, but are not allowed to connect a cable into the back of an existing socket-outlet through a wall into another room?
