Adding an extra light fitting and switch

[brock flanders]

Hi Guys and you advise.

Im adding an additional light fitting and switch to a new downstairs toilet.

Can you tell me if this work needs to be certified and if so where it states that this needs to be certified as im struggling to fine a source for this information.

I have read official goverment guidlines that state for small minor alterations, nothing is required, then on the other hand some say a cirtifate is required.

All im doing is adding a couple of wires.

Cheers

Getting really really sick of the sniping on here lately, everyone arguing with each other and stuff, been here 4 years never seen it as bad

 

[DPG]

A lot of sniping is caused by people putting things like 'This thread should be binned' when to be honest the OP asked a reasonable question. Daz

 

[markc123]

To be honest im not keen on all the arguing either llan, and i appologise if i've ever come across as a d*** at any time.

To wirepuller, if you're reading this - i know you're a competent sparks, and i don't mean to come across the way i do sometimes - it's just a difference in opinion buddy. No hard feelings

 

[brock flanders]

i am sorry if i did offend anybody, i was just simply rebounding the banter that i was surrounded with for asking a simple question. Lets stamp out bullying.

 

[markc123]

You didn't offend anyone brock, the post just got out of hand - suppose you can put it down to us all being passionate about our profession, and inveitably it leads to a difference in opinion.

Wouldn't go as far to say as bullying though buddy - we're all grown men here lol

 

[Sintra]

we're all grown men here lol

Sometimes I wonder lol.

DPG, I withdraw that comment as I thought Brock was blagging us , end of

Aye i know buddy i was just generally saying to everyone who uses this forum that im sorry if i've ever come across as a...how to say this without swearing, an unpleasant guy lol!

its a new year, think we all need to chill abit really - the problem is we've all been stuck with the wifes / fiances / partners over the festive period and not been out on-site with the lads so it gets over-heated...lets just blame it on the women anyway haha.

 

[LlandrilloSpark]

^^ spot on ^^

I'm finding that standard practice these days is that most threads turn Into situations where we are all having to justify our methods to each other ect.....not good, maybe I've been guilty of it myself, before Xmas I said to myself i wanted to contribute more to the forum , I've been trying to , from now on I will just keep my replies short & on topic , I don't come on here to get involved in the slagging off matches, get enough of that elsewhere

 

[markc123]

Although, having just said "its a new year" ...i've not exactly started it the best, had a letter come through the door from humberside police this morning - was caught doing 43mph in a 30 on 29th december so gotta send my details off - not a great start is it haha.

I don't intentionally get involved in slagging off matches either, it just sort of happens lol. But yeah, glad too see you're wanting to contribute alot more, it's good to hear from someone with a high-tollerance level (ref: english living in wales)

Thread's, like Sintra pointed out the other day go off-topic far to easily and im probably just as much to blame but hey-ho onwards and upwards, roll on 2013 and my inevitable driving awareness course haha.

was caught doing 43mph in a 30 on 29th december .

Outragous :lol:

 

[wade88]

You lot are rubbish. If were not allowed to bombard people with banter and gentle abuse, then where is the fun.

Pffft, spoil sports.

Brock doesnt mind, he can take it, if not he'll go to his shed and fetch out his high torque voltage creeper and pull your nipples off with it. Then send you off to the armpit of Mordor in a home built Satellite made from old sardine tins and condom wrappers....then you'll be sorry!

:winkiss:

?................- was caught doing 43mph in a 30

...........................roll on 2013 and my inevitable driving awareness course haha.

sorry to inform u but I don't think it will be a driver awareness course for doing 43 in a 30 zone. More likely to be a fine and points.
Hope u are lucky enough to only have to do the course.

dont know about anyone else, but where I live I think jumping red lights is more common/serious than speeding round here but nothing is done about it

 

[KevinS]

Why oh why did I bother going to work today when this post has been running.
i didn't realise I was missing so much.

its virtually been a session of Jeremy Kyle via the electricians forum.

 

[markc123]

Thanks KevinS...made my day lol

There was something in the back of my head telling me that if you're caught doing 10mph over the speed-limit then you don't have the option of the speed awareness course, great stuff lol.

I don't think it's a set amount over the speed limit. I think it's more of a percentage. Ie I think you can get away with 77 on a 70 zone, (7mph over the limit) but they won't let you away with 37 in a 30 zone.

sorry for being the bearer of bad news. Just grit your teeth, pay the robbing government, and try n slow down.

All you guys that are back slapping and apologising, please can you get a room This forum wouldn't be the same (minefield) if everyone was nice to each other and every thread didn't degrade into a rant about Electrical Trainee's, Part P etc etc

 

[markc123]

fair enough.......pi** off richy
