[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 506659, member: 250"] In your own home you possibly could do it safely.... BUT... any Landlord expecting a DIY, unqualified person to do any electrical work would be open to "no reasonable defence" should anyone be injured at a later date due to an electrical fault. I cannot see how a Landlord could possibly stand up in a court and claim they had applied good practice, due diligence in their decisions to allow DIY electrical alterations! The bottom line is.. will you be issuing any electrical certification or other equivalent documentation to prove the earthing and bonding is in accordance with BS7671 wiring regulations? If yes.. then go ahead.. If no... then keep your nose clean and stand well back!!! [/QUOTE]
