The reason for all these questions is because I have got a quote of a
little over 2500 GBP for moving about 5 sockets, - shifting the CU 1/2
meter to the left and reconnecting the wiring to the outside meterbox
after the supplier has moved it less than a meter. - I though that was
a bit expensive and want to do as much as I can myself - I have wired
a whole loft conversion already ( 8 double sockets and some1, 2 and 3
way switches) - so I need a leccy to test and issue a minor works
certificate for that as well. BTW how much can I expect to pay for
that ?

Assuming the loft conversion already has a building notice or full plans
submission the the council anyway, it is reasonable to assume that it is
their responsibility to carry out any testing they require prior to
issuing certificates. (obviously you would do your own testing for your
own piece of mind).

Even if you had to submit a separate building notice, that is going to
be *significantly* less than 2.5k!

If the council mutter about wanting to charge you extra for testing,
then just remind them to go re-read section 1.26 in part P.
