[QUOTE="shed69, post: 259831, member: 16158"] I am doing a Rewire where the loft insulation guys are coming after we Rewire, spoke with Nic to confirm what I thought would be best option.. I put to them that if the shower cable is clipped to the joists and the existing bit of insulation is cleared around it before the big stuff goes over top then could I class it to air on the side of caution as ref 100... They told me I could even class as clipped direct.... The insulation guys originally asked me to leave loads of slack on cables and they would put the insulation under!! I said no chance! If you've designed for clipped direct or 100 then your cert has the date on it and your part p has a date, if something was to happen an insulation has gone in at a later date then you cannot be held responsible it's up to the firm putting the insulation in to be aware.. Are they I wonder??? There is an element of you can't be responsible for what could go in after youve done the job isnt there? It's like clipping an armoured in a garden then a year later the homeowner buries it just under a covering of soil... What's on your test sheet for ref meth at time is what it is... [/QUOTE]
