This is no longer true, the definition of Restricted Electrical Works has made it illegal for non-RECI qualified individuals to carry out the work being discussed here. You can extend an existing circuit, replace a socket, things of that scale, but once you start adding circuits or protection devices you're breaking the law.Try getting an electrician to wire up a 63 amp consumer unit to one socket and get a cert for this work. Then get your meter reconnected by Electric Ireland. Once you have a meter connection you can then rewire the rest of the house at your leisure without any need for further certification.
Lots of things work, that doesn't mean they have been done correctly.I mean, if the work has been done correctly and he tests it, surely it would be a good earner.
As a retired tradesman, you are probably very handy at a lot of things, but you are not an electrician. You've been out of the country and you are retired so it is very unlikely that you are familiar with the standards. It would be very reckless for someone else to sign off on anything you do so it is almost certain that no one would entertain it.Was wondering if I could do the wiring myself (retired tradesman) and get a qualified Sparkie to sign off on it?
