lighting wiring

If you can't get hold of him, leave it for him to do on Monday. It will save him having to fault find and rectify.

Hi vala, I know it can be frustrating not getting the answer your looking for but it would be wrong for any member to provide a step by step guide on how to connect your switches up as it could open up a can of worms if things went wrong. Hope you can appreciate this and best of luck with your project.

Why would anyone agree to sign off work if they don't have the time to "supervise" and inspect the works.... madness.

Why do you think you need a Part P cert?

He does come in to check on updates as I do them. So for example I first fixed the house, he came in, checked it was up to scratch (if anything wasn't he'd advise on what needs doing).
However the stage I'm at now, the next time he's in is to wire in the RCD. All electrics are new in the house.
He mentioned to me about the Part P cert.

Cheers for your reply and understand what you mean.
Final stage of the project now and would have been good to have it all done before he turns up on Monday. He know's I'm competent enough to have these bits done, otherwise he wouldn't have told me to go ahead and do all the other bits before hand, considering he'll be signing off all the work.

Not trying to pick a fight, but if you are fishing on the internet how can he think you are competent?

Only 1 RCD?

Appreciate that mate its just members are aware they shouldn't be handing out step by step instructions to someone who has little or limited knowledge which you openly admit. Id rather make you aware of this otherwise sometimes the thread can go off on a bit tangent with members questioning your suitability to be undertaking such work.

So you wanted to know how to wire lights and what cable to use, yet the project is in its final stages and all that is already done. You are competent to connect up all the switches but you have no idea how to do it ? An electrician is overseeing all this work and pops in regularly to check how things are going, yet he has given no instruction in how to complete the tasks he has asked you to do ?

I'm sorry but that comes across fishier than yesterday's breakfast. I had kippers !
