Hi all


Just read about this in the latest edition of Wiring Matters Magazine and thought it may be of interest!

    A example of what I am trying to work around from another job I did a couple of weeks ago,  that I have already put in another post. 


    I was not making any alterations or additions to the lighting circuit,  it would have just been good practice to move it to a RCD protected fuse board next to the one it is in, but was not included in the contract and ended up staying where it is with the customer being advised in writing the there are issues with the existing installation that require improvements. 


    If you take your car to a garage to have the brakes repaired they may advise you that you need one or more new tyres on your car,  but they won't replace them as part of the job of replacing the brakes. It's not work that has been contracted.
