Re: Household wiring > regulations - calling 4a sparky.

I know all about the new part P regs.

I do not need to notify etc for additional sockets or maintenance which is what this is.

As for being careful, anything I do to my homes wiring would be a great improvement over how it was when I moved in.

So far I have found several points where the earth was not connected, "all" terminals in the consumer unit were very looses & wires could fall out easily, metal back boxes have not been earthed, inadequate junction boxes were uses, upstairs sockets were spurred off the downstairs ring & the wrong cores have been used for earthing on some parts.

"A reet mess".

I'm sorting it properly but just want to clarify the odd bit esp about spurs (not the football club please!) as I generally never use them & have been replacing them with inclusion into the ring where possible.

It's just that I'm having wardrobes fitted tomorrow & I cannot get the ring up that far so am left with a spur, yet I want a socket either side of the bed so need 2 spur's (not the cowboy ones ).
