Don't you worry Pete I've got one. The guy who fitted my new CU and who has tested other work I've done. I'm just cutting out on some labour costs by doing first fix and always have work checked and tested.

Hi guys,
I've never done any electrical work before and need some advice. I need to run a new kitchen ring, please could you take a look at the drawing I have attached and tell me if I am on the right track? I will be getting a qualified sparky to connect to mains and test but want to run the...
