[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 388078, member: 9512"] Les, There is a little more to BS7671 than can be gleaned from the internet. Also, as far as your home is your castle thing, then yes it is, and to a certain extent you can go what you like. Good on you for coming for advice to fill in the gaps. Possibly your only "official" issues would be planning change of use, and whether there would be a requirement from them for any "paperwork" and also your insurers, I'm guessing that you will insure the buildings, so they may have a requirement in the event of a claim. I've not gone through the whole thread in detail, however, one thing that does jump out is your intended use of spurs, that is very poor design on a new install, correctly specified radial circuits are a better solution, with a ring if you wish, though, to be honest I would not bother with a ring. Also a 32A EN 60309 socket sould really, be on its own dedicated circuit. I'll have another read later. [/QUOTE]
