Any Electricians out there?

[.Mark]

I need some help/advice about the new wiring laws and what I can and can't do now.
Any PistonHeads sparkeys in the Hampshire/W. Sussex area want a bit of work?

According to Jo not much

Forget all that sparky malarky.

Give DustyC a bell, he was a qualified sparks in a former life.

I believe you can do anyhitng that doesn't relate to the main(?), spurs(?) are fine to work on.

Just an overheard conversation. Might have been about someone going to a football match rather than a race circuit in germany though

You bugger, you're off the house warming party list mate

I'll get in touch with the indecisive one, I didn't realise he had 'History'.

Yes, I suspected as much, I've heard similar. But then who would know??? What I want to do is not rocket science, but I just want to be sure.

Cheers. I'm more confused than ever now!

niceic said:

Does your work included additions to existing circuits (such as additional lighting points or socket outlets) in special installations and or locations as defined in Part P?

Yes, I want to install a floodlight and some extra power sockets in the garage and some extra power sockets in the 'office'
So I click on "In special installations and or locations"

Then niceic pop-up said:

Kitchens, bathrooms, Swimming Pools, Saunas, Electric floor or ceiling heating systems, Gardens, Solar Photovoltaic power supplies, Generators, Extra low voltage lighting NOT CE marked

No mention of garage or office at all - so I presume I am safe?

Where's DustyC when you need him!
