Hi all,
I've had a complete rewire in my house as part of a renovation. I've noticed two things that I wonder if they are in line with regs:
1) the electrician has not put the little bit of brown tape over the blue or black wires that are switched live. Is the brown tape just best practice or is it a legal requirement?
2) I've got metal switch plates. He connects the earth to the back of the plate, but not to the little earth block in the metal back box. I guess the screws connect the plate to the back box, but is it ok from a regs angle?
Thanks.
