No.
You can do all your own electrical work, so long as it conforms to the regs.
However I'd never give advice on how to do stuff as I'm not a domestic installer.
And neither should anyone else tbh.

I for one would certainly want to pull the big main fuse and by cutting the lead tag that's were it becomes illegal but most new builds have a fuse in-between this and the consumer unit so yes you are rightlee wrote:Illegal?SMUDGER wrote:Anyone can wire a cooker to a standalone cooker fuse spur you don't need nic eis but it is illegal to touch the consumer unit

Re: Need a sparkie
Got a good spark who does our electrics, cheap too, but very deaf so messages are best to notify him of jobs.
If you are liverpool area he'll be the man you need and so you know it'll probably need a 40amp fused supply, regs are changing for domestic electrics in feb.

Re: Need a sparkie
I agree this is the case with single ovens, but I thought double ovens needed to be hard wired. When I had dry rot and gutted the kitchen I did a full re-wire of the points and lights, re-plumb including mains water supply and re-pipe of the central heating. In the re-wire I put two heavy duty spurs in, one for the cooker and one for the hob as looking around at double cookers they all had warnings for installation by electrician, but the single ovens boasted "easy plug-in".Dave wrote:most modern cookers are 2kw and work off a 13amp Fused plug..the cable will be 1 or 1.5mm….pop one of these on and put into a normal socket
Certainly, the sparkie that removed the old fuse box and replaced it with an RCD (there by having to check and certify everything I had done in the price)had no bones with it.
