i have completed a wall and patio for my sister
i was going to progress with the electrical work myself
but been told NOT TO
so taken heed to wise words
i have now contracted 9 local electricians
for a price not one reply as yet
so my are plans are installing 8 outside lights and 5 outside socket one for a water feature
i have already bought 100M 1.5mm 3 core SWA cable and 100M 2.5mm 3 core SWA cable
i could be waiting weeks or months for an electrician to call so can i run all the cable
and make all the connections to the fitting lights and sockets
i was a builder went int fitting kitchens and bathrooms moved and installed many sockets over the years so quick happy in doing all the work so if a electrician call he can check all my connections
i also want to install a garage CU at back of house so i can run all the swa cable to this unit
but leave the connections to a electrician i`m burying the cables so i will have to leave all the tee`s connections uncovered for him to inspect
would this be OK
thanks Paul
