Hi there, just trying to find out some info regarding the issue of a minor works cert.
Having recently completed the 2395 course, I can carry out periodics, but wondered if I can issue a minor works cert or whether I have to wait until I have done my 2394 course ? Many thanks

Hello guys
short and simple, wifi hub downstairs with weak signal reaching the 3rd floor.

Hi,
Just a few questions as I rarely do any domestic work.
I'll be changing a few single sockets to doubles and also adding a few extras on the existing ring. Currently has no RCD protection and common sense suggest that because I'll be adding sockets I should add RCD protection?
