Wanted: New bathroom electrical inspection and certification (for building regs)

We have relocated our bathroom by swapping it with another room in our ground floor flat.


I have been doing the work myself, including the electrical wiring, but I believe that building regs require the work to be certified by an accredited electrician (or I have to pay southwark council to do it).


No new circuits have been installed - I have re-purposed wiring that was already there. The work I have done:


? Two additional downlights added (properly IP rated, GU10). Daisy chained from existing two lights already in the room.


? Chased two cables in for wall lights (to go either side of the mirror) and run these on the lighting circuit


? Swapped the light switch for a 2 switcher - running the downlights and extractor to L1 and the wall lights to L2.


(The junction box that this is all wired into is accessible by pulling out one of the downlights)


? There was an alarm system in the top corner of the room with a fused spur on the ring circuit. On removing the alarm I have changed this to a switched spur and added a second switched spur right next to it. These are for the underfloor heating (under 1kw so as per regs can go on ring circuit) and electric towel rail.


? Added extractor isolator to lighting circuit and extractor fan (timer)


? Removed twin gang plug socket and single gang plug socket that were next to each other and replaced with a non-switched fused 3A spur feeding a shaving socket that is going inside vanity unit. The old sockets are right next to where the vanity unit is going and so to avoid having to make more mess chasing, I decided to run it from the ring circuit fused down. (I believe this is compliant).


? Removed twin gang plug socket on opposite wall (fed from socket directly behind on other side of the wall in the living room) and made-good ring circuit.


Currently everything is exposed and so now would be the best time for an inspection.


Do let me know if you could help or have any recommendations.


Thanks

      That's a helpful update. I hope you get it recovered and repaired without further difficulty. Annoying it should have happened just after a service. At least no one could drive it away in the meantime!

      Hi - a friend sent me this link…   The car is neither abandoned nor stolen! (Nor ever has been, so not sure why that has been suggested). It is mine, I collected it from service (and MOT as identified by some on here) on Friday, driving home it had a bit of a hissy fit and broke down! AA attended on Friday, could not recover it until this morning. Spoken to the nice people inside Westminster carpet on Friday who couldn’t have been kinder, I moved the car back from the doors of the property as best I could without blocking more parking spaces. Recovery should be here imminently. Apologies for any inconvenience.

      That's very odd if they won't answer. Do they just say "no, we won't tell you that"? I can understand they wouldn't want you to get the bread direct from their source instead of from them, but why not just say that? If they baked it themselves, I imagine they would be only too happy to let people know.

      Possibly one of the other local garage owners may know? Also, it's possible if the owners and staff are still in the area that they might see your post. They didn't post on here themselves (to the best of my knowledge) but they must have known that I did, as a couple of times the lady who worked in reception phoned me to ask me if I could  post in the "Lost" section when something dropped in Hansler Road had been handed in to them. Unfortunately I only have their office landline  number, which presumably disappeared when they closed. Good luck! Hopefully your service manual may turn up in an unexpected place.
