Part P and replacements confusion

Dec 19, 2005 41 Replies

Part P has nothing to do with it. The loft conversion was done by a builder.

It will stop builders, who through ignorance thought they were doing no wrong.

Pat-n-Dave, you need your head testing.

Read again, "Ring mains are far 'more' open to abuse".

BTW, his kitchen had all the sockets daisy changed together too, and the under-worktop oven (1kW) was also plugged into this too. He has a major rewire in parts. The kitchen fitters and loft converters all did this, and they were not DIYers.

Huh? Builders have to comply with the building regs - including part P of said regs.

So the builders who are ignorant of building regs will suddenly take notice of yet another extension to the regs they are ignorant of?

You lack clarity of thought.

You need your circuits testing...

I assume you don't mean ring mains since consumers almost never come into contact with these.

I read it - I was disagreeing with you.

The most common circuit faults have more dangerous implications on radials than they do on ring circuits.

As they would be for pretty much any type of circuit.

Quite common - its only a small load (5A) - many ovens come with plugs fitted.

And?
