My utility room contains the old kitchen sink. Would part P apply there?


Not unless there are also "food preparation facilities."

There aren't, so it doesn't. Good.

Of course a tin plate and a Swiss army knife could be construed as
"food preperation facilites" - that's what I use when I'm backpacking.


Actually Part P *applies* to *all* electrical work in a dwelling, what
you mean is "is the work notifiable?"



True. For what I'm proposing it will anyway. whether it is notified is
another matter.

I suopose I'll have to get access to a Robin (or similar tester) as I no
longer have access to one at work.

I suppose I could get one on Ebay, and sell it on afterwards forabout the
same as it costs. Cheaper than hiring.

Problem with buying second hand is calibration. Recalibration can cost
nearly as much as hiring.
