Hi all,
I have just completed the 1st fix on a rewire and have invited the local council along to inspect (huge invitation fee!!!!!) in order to apply for part P registration.
I have installed everything to 17th as this is my qualification and to me makes it easier.
Council guy is 16th and wants me to alter everything so he can adequately assess it!!!
He wants me to swap a 30ma RCD for a 100ma time delay RCD as the supply is TT. This cost is huge for the customer. Also he wants me to supplementry bond the bathroom and cap all my cable chases with steel capping.
I have tried to argue but he is being awkward.
I have explained that all chases are in the safe zones and although not 50mm in the wall (engineering bricks) are protected by RCD's.
He has rebooked for today and is coming along with his foreman and the building inspector.
His excuse is that I am the 1st 17th in the area and I am the test case for them to get to grips with the new regs!
Anybody else experiencing similar problems
