apart from I am not charging anything.
Please explain how you are not changing anything?
Are you not changing the characteristics of the circuit?

You are altering an existing circuit, and as such any alterations to the existing circuit, you will need to ascertain if that circuit is safe to alter, cable size,OCPD type and size, and as an altered circuit you will need to produce a Minor New Electrical Works Certificate, to include test results and what alterations were carried out.Hi,
I am not a qualified electrician, but have been asked to install downlights in a garage by a family friend.
There is currently a flouresent tube in there, which be used as the starting point for the series of lights.
I just want to know as a non qualified electrician I can carry out this work as a diyer in someone else’s house, as I am not changing the circuit? Or would this need to be signed off?

Well spank me silly, you are correct. Soz OP.
Not sure what questions I have not answered, apart from I am not charging anything. I am literally helping out a friend.
I have limited testing equipment, but if this was carried out my a third party after installation, then I presume it is all good?
Thanks again
Ps I think murdoch needs to get off his high horse and take some chill pills and stop giving people grief who are asking a straight forward question. Quite clearly we are not all geniuses like you
Careful SWD will make full use of that remark.
Spoon, I worry about you sometimes You have a sick warped mind, but I like you.He's too easy.... I like a bit of challenge, not someone who drops their pants and bends over within the first minute...
A very apt reply Middy, well done.
Don't know about you I'm into my second glass of Rouge VinoJust trying to make light of the situation; now where were we?
You have a sick warped mind,
Love it @Steveo has given me 3 dislikes, but offered up any reason why ......
Yes but there is a difference between you and the O.P.Part P building regs, also state that electrical installations should be designed & installed in accordance with BS7671 (current addition being the 18th).
OP if you were working in your own house, I suspect your own house insurance would cover you? It may even cover you, for causing damage in someone else's house; you would need to enquire about the liability aspect, mind.
Course, as already said, don't tell anyone and just crack on (I take no liability for that statement ).
My new neighbour has asked me to do some work in his house. As I've quite the game (no longer have liability insurance, not in a scheme), I politely declined.
I do get the feeling, you won't be reading this post.
