Bad Advice From A "Spark" ???

[Pete E]

I would like an additional electric socket put in the bedroom to do away with the need for an extension cable.

Its not an urgent job and its something I have put off getting done due to the hassle factor of having to lift laminate and floor boards, not to mention emptying the bedroom of furniture to give a Spark access.

While chatting to a friend of a friend who is a self employed builder/spark/plumber, he suggested dropping a spur off the lighting circuit in the attic???? Surely that's a big no-no or is it allowed under certain circumstances?

The only reason I was chatting to this guy is that I have seen some of his work re laminated flooring and it was very good, and I was sounding him out for doing the flooring aspect of the job.. I was therefore a bit taken a back when he suggested dropping the feed down from above...

Also, how do you verify if a person is actually qualified as a Spark? Do they have to register with the local council or anything?

Thanks in advance,

Peter

Got a link?

Why would you need a link?
Doesn’t everyone know that MK produce 5A and even 2A round pin plugs?

West stated Fused 5A plug, just curious that's all. By the way I did know that MK produce those plugs just couldn't recall a 5Amp fused plug is that OK?

Probably I just responded to the post where it stated you cannot get fused 5A plugs, you can they take BS646 fuses.

Ah right thanks, I can recall fitting that type of thing back when Jesus played in goal for Bethlehem.

we all know that jesus played in goal, coz. the sally army tells us that "jesus Saves"

well you learn something new everyday .

I still maintain that it's not a professional nor future proof safe, solution. I would never contemplate doing it but each to their own ....(conscience).
