I have 3 questions covering the 3 necesseties in a property, i.e. water, gas and electrics. Hopefullt some of you on here can shed some light on these
Currently the main water pipe comes into the house in the middle of the kitchen along side an extrenal wall, which is where the stopcock is (I think that's the right term) After I get my extension done the external wall will cease to exist as I will be opening the kitchen out. Question is what can I do with the main water feed? can I run some pipe off it to a more suitable location?, can the pipe be buried at ground level and tiled over?
Along similar lines, my main gas feed into the house is again through an external wall but is currently concealed in the garage, after the garage is converted into a living area it willbe a meter in (due to planning consent) and so the gas pipe will be outside, does this have to be boxed in or will it be ok on the outside of the property.
Lastly, I have been told that from January, it will be necessary for all electricians to be certified and belong to some kind of body/institution, is this correct, are there new regs/laws coming out covering electricians.
Any comments/thoughts appreciated
Regards MG
