Cabling up a kitchen advice sought

They have to report, as you say, they could have have used existing regs, the alternative appears to be that 'cos an silly person MPs husband thinks he's a DIY king the rules must be changed.
I would hope that was not so as Part P won't prevent any repeats will it?
Why do you think that such regulation was introduced?

If you wire something in red/black today.Tomorrow who's to say it wasn't done long before part p came in.
If you wire it in brown/blue the games up

Brown and blue was introduced at least six months before Part P came in.

Brown and blue was introduced at least six months before Part P came in.

So if you use red/balck you're really in the clear!

PS - I have 4 drums of the stuff in my workshop :lol:

For any "Part P Anal Retentives" out there, just to let you know I've just rewired my new kitchen (cooker circuit, seperate ring main) in glorious technicolour blue and brown. Do I care what the "jobsworths" think - in a word "NO". All the info you need is out there and easily found. As far I am concerned, it's done safely, neatly and correctly, and a bloody sight more tidily than a lot of professional electricians can be bothered with.

I'm not an electrician, but did electrics during my apprenticeship. I've done many wiring jobs (unpaid) over the years, single, 3-phase, domestic and industrial. Basic rules: - Don't attempt it unless you understand it. Isolate Everything First and check it's actually OFF. I've had a nip changing a lightbulb buts that's it, and never a wiring fault.

PS Although, I did do all the gas pipe re-routing, I left it to a CORGI man to connect and test :wink: His words on the test (zero pressure drop) "that's more than good enough for me".

That's fine if you are not doing other work which is being supervised by the BCO already, in which case it isn't an option, no matter how proudly slack your sphincter is.

Thanks for stating the obvious.

You sound a bit uptight, mate. It was just a play on your 'anal retentive' comment.
