I have had an extension built (just the shell), and would like to know what is the score with the wiring.

I am capable of doing it myself (have actually routed it all in the loft prior to fitting loft insulation), leaving just the wire hanging out of all the sockets, but realise the regs changed as from this year.

So will i have to pay somebody to come and connect it up and certify it???

Can i connect it up, and get it checked to get certified???

or do i have any other options???

I was told by the builder that a householder is permitted to make extensions to existing circuits???
Is this true, if so, could i get away with connecting the new extension into the existing ring and lighting circuits???

Hope someone can help......

Cheers
