Yup there part p registered,

Rubbish. If they are claiming that they are liars. There is no such thing as part P registered. Part P is a building regulation not a qualification. Try asking for their registration certificate to call their bluff.

Well i'm confused.

@ sparkyAndGeorge - (Great name by the way! - It's the MCB at the CU that governs my downstairs sockets (16amper apparantly as the ring was never extended back to the CU.

 

[SparkyAndGeorge]

Perhaps you could tell us what advice you need now? The socket would be easy enough to reposition, the lights needs further investigation by somebody on site we can only speculate from here. Does the blender trip the mcb on another circuit or just that one?

What's to dislike? it's correct

 

[Beefy]

I havn't checked it to be honest. I'll give it a go on another circuit and find out. Can the lighting faults be isolated via testing aparatus? I take it most sparks would have the tools to do this in the van. Trying to understand the process of how one narrows down where it occurs so i know what to expect in terms of work and time for any further spend. If the problem is existing and has been amplified by the addition of my new switches and sockets then i'm assuming this troubleshooting would be deemed additional works for quoting? What do you think?

 

[Octopus]

What do I think ...

Address your issues in writing to your spark .....

As I keep saying part P is a building regulation not a qualification.

Perhaps you would show us a copy of this qualification that you claim to have!

All electrical work must be carried out in accordance to part P of the building regulations. But there is no part P qualification as such.

The point he is trying to make is that you are registered with a CPS (competent person scheme) to satisfy the requirements of approved document P of the building regulations.

His point was that anybody claiming to be part p approved/registered is a liar.
