Hi Guys,
Looking for a Bit of light on an Issue i have just encountered.
Client had a New CU installed in 2014 ( Plastic) but carried out a Extension where additional circuits were added this was completed This year 2016.
1 Ring main Protected by RCD.
2 Lighting circuit in bathroom protected by RCD.
3 Lighting circuit covering 2 Bedrooms.
Now Building company have went Bust and Electrician refused to sign off his work so the building Warrant can't be completed Stating they required another New CU as it had to be metal to comply with the New Amendment that came into force this year.
Now i might be wrong and this is why i am asking as my understanding would be the CU is still acceptable due to it being installed before the new Reg came into force and the work should have been signed off.
Please can anyone clear this up
Thanks
