This is turning into a step by step thread!

If and I say if you really do intend to get a spark to test and certify, I would politely suggest you find one before you do ANYTHING ........... people who call me to come and test get politely told to go away.........

 

[steptoe84]

Begs the question is, where are you going to find an Electrician to test and certify your installation?

Don't you worry Pete I've got one. The guy who fitted my new CU and who has tested other work I've done. I'm just cutting out on some labour costs by doing first fix and always have work checked and tested.

So why haven't you called him?

Because its not ready to be tested, I haven't ran the wires yet!

Not worried steptoe, just wondering what sort of Sparky your Mate is that's all, what sort of certificates does he provide? and does he notify LBC when required?

Hum ................ best you call him to clarify what you want and need.

Why so many sockets in a bedroom?

No but you could be more helpful and just tell me what you are trying to say Pete. Thought the idea of this website was for help? Geez!!

The principle reason for the site if for sparks to help sparks who are doing the job to earn a living. Sure there is a DIY section but there are limits on what we general provide.

You really should be consulting the spark who you believe will be testing your work... but its not just about testing, its about making sure compliance with the regs and hence why I would recommend you get said sparky involved now.

I said they were on an old ring (which no longer exists). now they are just two 1G hall sockets which will be spurred off the bedroom radial. problem?

Steptoe84, you obviously have all this above board as far as the LBC and your Electrician are concerned, I have to say I don't agree, you have continued to say despite, my objections that you will be doing what you feel is right, no matter what professional advice you are being given, albeit to say what you intend is fundamentally wrong.
I don't recall you ever asking what I should do, and the only answer I have given is get an Electrician in to do this work, I don't think many forum members would give any advice other that mine, I could be wrong but that's my take. to this end I will continue to look at this thread, but sadly due to your attitude which seems to be, s-d your advice I'll do what I want, I will no longer contribute anything to this thread other than to say good luck.
