A spark rewiring his own house

[Guest112]

Hi as title says just interested in what you other sparks would do in this situation. Im a spark on the books with a contracting company so bar my JIB card I am not registered with any scheme and never have been so am a bit unaware of what you self employed sparks would do in my situation. I know a lot of sparks who have wired their own houses and just kept it to themselves without notifying the LABC or being on any scheme at all. Can you sprks tell me the pros and cons of either stuation notifying the LABC or just doing it without. Im not looking for a loophole or to do anything wrong but as i mentioned this is my house and im not wiring it and renovating it to sell straight away Thanks in advance

sorry we're off topic now, all i wanted to say that everything is possible in this world. And i won't get off my friends head until he will agree to contact at least agency.

How much does your LABC charge? Calderdale (HX) charges £220 per install

i didnt actually enquire in the end as my main intention was to get my engineer to sign it off i assume it wouldve been roughly the same though mate

turns out the house I've bought definitely needs rewiring the existing install is a mix of surface mounted trunking and surface clipped t+e to each point the existing db is in the downstairs toilet lol either going to have to move it if possible or will box it in i think

Yes but make sure you can p!ss straight after youv been out and are "a bit ale`d up"......be the mother of all fault paths that one...lol.........
