Sorry don't understand? When I bought the house I didn't know what was what and why, now I'm getting it ready I'm trying to ensure everything is right

To be an electrician, and therefore considered competent to do electrical work, you need an NVQ level 3 in electrical installation.

The 'confusing' part comes about when people try to deviate from that in search of a bespoke qualification which will allow concessions such as not charging for the work, only working on one property or only doing work on weekends. Surely it stands to reason that if you are capable of safely doing electrical work on your own home at the weekend for free then you could do it anywhere, any time, wearing a tradesman costume and having arrived there in a van with your name on it?

I got that ripped out straight away for something nice by a spark, if I can't see a separate circuit for it, I'll get a spark in - the light I want to move about 2ft away in to the centre of the bathroom. I don't even know how it was even allowed to be fitted there in the first place

If the electrician who fitted the consumer unit didn’t comment on the bathroom light when he carried out the inspection and testing then I can’t see why it would be dangerous.
Is there anything noted on the certificate you received after having it done?

Yes, an electrician has replaced the CU but not picked up on or dealt with a dangerous bathroom light????

Liverpool is a fantastic place, the people are friendly and come together when needed, plus, I don't have to see the sun newspaper anywhere, aigburth beach is great for the dog too!

No not a thing, he did all kinds of testing in the house, he was here for about a day and a half, his cabling is spot on. He gave certificates and submitted to the authorities what he had done

Do you have a picture of the 'offending' bathroom light?
