[QUOTE="barkymalarkey, post: 483202, member: 20651"] Thanks Murdoch. Evans Electrical (thanks to you as well!) says the opposite in his reply... Hmm, confused now! Obviously I'll ask the electrician when he comes but was hoping to know where things stand before that. There's some insulation at present. I was going to top it up and then just have the cables on top of the insulation. I'm not sure if I'm right to feel this way... but it always makes me feel a bit uncomfortable having cables beneath insulation. So is it against regs to leave them loose/unclipped? I thought there was a list of electrical work which must be done by a DIYer / competent person? For instance, I read this last night: [URL="https://www.mglondon.uk/blog/electrician/when-do-you-need-an-electrician/"]https://www.mglondon.uk/blog/electrician/when-do-you-need-an-electrician/[/URL] Or have I misunderstood - can anyone do it so long as it is signed off? Not that I'm planning to do anything beyond the very basic!!! But can a DIYer even install a consumer unit then? Cheers [/QUOTE]
