Re Part P Certification. Does a third party have to physically test an installation himself or is it sufficient to trust the test evidence of the electrician that did the work. I have been asked this by a neighbour and whilst I once knew the wiring regs I am no longer up to date (and not practicing). Thanks
I have been asked before now why I have put glands on the top surface of a CU. Sockets above the work benches and same height elsewhere, so no risk of collapsing over a fire-fighter. In any event, it's not as if the occupant will be sleeping in there if anything catches fire.
We did think about applying silicone sealant, but it didn't seem very nice.
Perfectionism has its place, but I do sometimes have to make an effort to accept a little less. The pass mark is not 100%!
