Legalities of changing sockets and brakes in England? (2025 Update)

Give an example.

No it isn't. There are no regulations about me doing my own wiring. I can rewire the whole house if I wish. Garages, conservatories, anything that isn't an actual "extension" do not require permission. Check the government website.

It's already here, what's your point?

State why.

Bullshit, check the government website, there is a percentage of glass for it to be classed as a conservatory.

No, if I made a circuit for sockets, I'd have the same 30A fuse, but have it in a straight line with one 30A cable. If the cable comes undone, no power. If a cable comes undone in a ring, 30A allowed through 15A of cable, fire!

It is not wrong. The cables are rated lower than the fuse (which is f****ng stupid if one breaks).

It's fractionally more cabling actually as you have to complete the circle.

There are no other points to it.

He obviously does when he whined to you about that.

And is actually stupid enough to 'live' in scotland.

But clearly not that which is trivial to get away with, because he is that stupid.

You can't do whats between your CU and the street supply.

And what is, does.

Don't need to.

That when it isnt, it needs planning permission.

Because that's what the regulations say.

And it isnt viable to do an extension that way.

No, I brought the subject up.

The houses are a fifth of the price. It's quieter, with more open space and scenery, and less Muslims.

In Scotland there's not much that has to be gotten away with.

Yep.

Yep, you actually are that incompetent.

Yep, you actually are that incompetent.

Nope, no fire.

Corse it is.

Nope, works fine, no fire.

Even sillier than you usually manage and that's saying something. A number of spurs uses much more cable than a ring, stupid.

Wrong, as always. Much easier to have one ring around everything than lots of spurs all going back to the CU.

He still pig ignorantly whined about it when you did.

Plenty in england are too.

And lots more rain and f****ng frigid too.

But riddled with hairy legged cross dressers and glaswegians.

Irrelevant to him being too stupid to do that in england.
