Hi all
Started to look in detail at the kitchen re-furb project now. The structural alterations were carried out in 2006 IIRC and so I have a building regs case still open. It remains open until electrical work is done and certified and then they will issue a completion certificate AIUI.
I have previous correspondence from them regarding their coming to inspect first fix. As the work "officially" started in 2006, can I legitimately install to 16th Edition regs?
Current Situation
My CU will not accept RCBOs and the cooker and lighting supplies are not currently RCD protected, as required by 17th Ed. I could cover the chases with metal capping and provide "mechanical protection" that way, but if I can avoid all these hassles I would rather.
Any insights please?
TIA
Phil
