I know most people wont agree with me but I really don't think it is that bad for someone to try to fix there own electrical problems if there not qualified. I think all the red tape we have to wade through confuses people into thinking we're rocket scientists.

Not rocket scientists - but professionals who have spent years of hard graft and education to get to where we are.

If the OP has to ask - then he doesn't have an idea, so he should get someone in to do the job for him.

Would you attempt gaswork on your home if you didn't really know what you were doing?

I seriouslly doubt you would attempt gaswork if you didn't know what you were doing. What im trying to say is people have this thing where they are adamant that they'd never touch gas, but they're happy to do electrics....don't see much difference in principle myself.

I don't mind homeowners attemtping DIY work aslong as it doesn't extend to the installation of new cable. The OP however doesn't know what he's doing, otherwise he wouldn't ask so in my mind - in this instance, he should call a professional.
