[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 450965, member: 1607"] Yes you are being ridiculous. They have no idea what is there at the moment, and no idea about if when or how something extra has or hasn't been added. Certain types of work are notifiable to the LABC under Part P building regulations. other work is not. An additional socket in a hallway, (single, twin or triple), is not notifiable under Part-P building regulations, and you can undertake the work yourself, if you consider it to be within your abilities. Your insurance company with have no idea about what was or wasn't there before or after you do your work. However my personal recommendation would be to have it designed, installed and testing by a qualified and competent person. But you are quite legally within your rights to have a go yourself and I very much doubt that any insurance company would bat an eyelid. Or consider it another way; Before you took out your insurance, was the property fully tested and documented and an itemised specification of total number of sockets, switches, lights, circuits, fuse boxes etc, given to your insurance provider so they could fully asses the risk your electrical installation places upon their policy premiums? If not, any other alterations will not effect the validity of the policy either. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
