Hello. When I had my Consumer Unit replaced, one circuit was found to only serve a blanked off socket, possibly for use by a stair lift that was never installed. The electrician connected it to a 16A MCB and marked it on the EIC as unknown. I now need a socket about 2m away from the CU. If I...
Greetings,
I just need some advice on whether or not my work is notifiable as I'm sure it isn't, but a visit from the building inspector says it is.......
I know it's sometimes a grey area but I can't see it needing to be certifiable.

Hi,
Just a few questions as I rarely do any domestic work.
I'll be changing a few single sockets to doubles and also adding a few extras on the existing ring. Currently has no RCD protection and common sense suggest that because I'll be adding sockets I should add RCD protection?

Hi guys,
I'm a little confused as to how to go about providing certification for domestic.
