I've added some soffit lights (upstairs and downstairs), and I've added a fused spur in my back room.
It all works and, to the best of my ability, it's as safe as possible - but (simply put) I'm not an electrician.
I've been regularly consulting a mate of mine for bits I'm confused about so I was happy with it but growing increasingly paranoid since it's not been done by a professional. I'm considering getting it certified, but that led me to thinking (for people who aren't qualified) what exactly should we be comfortable with doing our own wiring around the home? Maybe it should all be done professionally, but then does that mean a call-out for even swapping a light fitting or moving a ceiling rose? Where should I draw the line?
Just to be clear, my first priority is safety. I've tried to cover all bases, but it doesn't have a cert and there might be some regs I'm in breach of for things I'm not aware of.
Open to any criticism/opinion here - had some great advice from you guys in the know in previous threads.
