Hi all,
I am renovating my house and I plan to rewire the whole thing (new kitchen is installed so at least that has to be a new circuit even if I decided not to rewire). Basically most of the ceiling and lath and plaster is removed so It is not hard to route the wires across the house. My problem is that we are running out of budget and I would like to do the works myself but the building warrant states that I have to provide an electrical installation certificate to BS 7671 upon completition. I learned that it is extremely unlikely that any electrician will give this on my DIY job. I am fairly competent in carrying out this work but currently I see no other way to solve this but to pay a fortune to a certified electrician. Is there a way around this?
Thank, you
