**** sorry, I didn't see these other posts..

Anymore or other input is more than welcome.

Heavy.. As much as I appreciate you're guys input, I don't particularly want to or like to read about two people slagging each other off. This is a forum and is so for a reason. I've taken what I can both both sides.. Regs 132.16 & tables 54.1 & 542.3.1...

*sorry. Out the existing earth and replace it with a new one. I would obviously bond the pipes free of charge if the water and gas intake was at the same location, which it is not. Any other comments?

Nice one lads, I hear the both of you, I just feel I can only do what I have priced the job for to the best of my ability.. I can inform the client of the issue and it is down to them to decide wether they want to pay me to trace

Cheers chaps

Wouldn't running a cable "outdoors" be classed as a new outdoor wiring although not a new circuit.? Therefore requiring building control? Cheers 4 the help

Nice one mate. Much appreciated. Any recommendations on electrical governing bodies such as niceic etc..?

Alright Doc, I'm not yet registered with a contractor scheme, which is another topic up for discussion as some are saying NIC are slacking on certain points. So I was thinking of calling up building control and notifying/pre-notifying them of such work. Are there any other ways? I'm an Nvq...

Hi. I'm a newly qualified spark and my grandfather has asked to install lighting and power in the shed.. The DB is miles away and old school with fuses rather than our beloved mcb's and the likes.. So instead of tearing through the house to put in an armoured cable and a small 4way DB in the...
