Non Notifiable Work?

[telectrix]

Yes they do come from above. But I intended to replace the cable like for like but install in oval conduit. I fear the excisting cable might be damaged as it's embedded in plaster. But I'll have a look. But I have a feeling I might have to leave this one now. As it falls under noitifiable work.

why should the cables be damaged by being embedded in plaster? an IR test will soon confirm if they are OK. in your place i would just dig out 6" above sockets and fit new sockets. is RCD protection in place?

I'm thinking MWC, 30mA RCD and bonding. Is your assessment any time soon? If it is, you have your 30 day window for notifying the work.

Obviously, if there is no RCD protection then your cert is an EI.

 

[telectrix]

agreed.

Thanks guys for all the input, but when I got there this morning, the customers son, had ripped all the sockets off the wall and cut back all the cable, leaving her with no lights or sockets in the lower half of the house.There was bare live cables all over the floor a couple of kids running round too. I can't believe how stupid this guy is. I was able to restore some of the sockets and all the lights, I had a electrician friend of mine come in check and test. The Son, I really can't say what I like done to him, but it involves 230 something or other. Needless to say her sockets haven't been moved at all. But thanks again for all the input, it's very much appreciated.
