rules for in london

[tornadoarnold]

hi everyone,

i am looking at doing a rewire for a friend of the family in wimbolden at easter time, and understand that local building control in the london area have certain rules which don't apply to the rest of the country.

things like you can't use brown blue(sleeved)+ cpc for the switches, it has to be twin brown +cpc.

any info on what the different rules are or where i can find them would be much appreciated

I've spent the last six months doing bathroom and kitchen work in various london boroughs and I can say with my hand on my heart that they would happily sign off a kitchen ring wired in black, red, luminous pink and shoelaces.

When I first started I asked the usual questions such as 'where do you permit surface trunking?', 'what specific bathroom lighting do you want?' etc etc, and the answer to every question was 'whatever'.

Go nuts.
