Hi all,
i am fairly new to self certifying my own work and have a few quires. Basically i have been asked to put some lights in a kichen and bedroom above sounds simple enough right? Unfortunately after some investigation there was no proper lighting supply present at that end of the house, mr diy had wired lights off sockets and cooker points with 2 core flex
Obviously comming off this dodgy wiring is not an option and i have explained to the customer it is unsafe and the whole house needs rewiring. In the meantime i need to get some kitchen lights wired so i intented to come off a ring main and put in a fused spur to run the lights. As there is no other safe supplys to come off and the ring main seems in a reasonable condition.
As for signing this off i was hoping to complete a minor works certificate as it is just an alteration and extention of another circuit. so my question is how would I go about this??
Do i complete a ring main test or go i treat the fused spur as the new circuit im just abit confused as to what i should be doing?
Any help would be appreciated
