This is insane. Legally (like anyone pays any attention to these
laws)
you cannot do simple things like fitting an electrical socket to
your
own home,
That's a pig ignorant lie.
Well that's what the link says.
Its wrong.
It is interest ring that the people who still live under a queen
They dont.
can't read the queen's English
That isnt Liz's english.
"Repairs you can do yourself
However, there are some jobs that you can do yourself without calling
in a qualified electrician as long as you are competent with
DIY/Handyman works around the house. These do not fall under €˜Part P
guidelines, so you dont have to notify your local building control
body if you want to:
Replace light bulbs or plug fuses
Replace a simple light fitting
Replace an existing socket or light switch like for like"
In fact you are free to add a new socket to the ring main too.
You can do what the **** you like as it's in your own home and nobody
inspects it.
I meant its legal to do that.
Apparently not, only replacing existing ones.
Wrong, ask Adam.
If you add new cabling, you're a very naughty boy.
Wrong, as always.
