Yeah I’ve got 10yr battery wireless mains powered ( safelinc I think - much cheaper ) . It was how they are mains powered was my issue . But I’ll just do as others have done .

Perfect ! I’ll just hack it away . My concern was when sparky does sign off he will see fire circuit on CU . He might turn that off to check the batteries on the units . But of course some of the alarms won’t be wired directly off the CU . Don’t want him to have an issue …

I found this https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technical/Regulations/Fire1.htm 1.17 The power supply for a smoke alarm system should be derived from the dwelling’s mains electricity supply................If alarm comprises no stand by power supply, [ie AC ONLY] no other electrical equipment should be connected to this circuit. [ie AC only alarms, must only be wired back to main consumer unit on dedicated circuit]. 1.18 A smoke alarm, or smoke alarm system, that includes a standby power supply or supplies, [ie AC with battery back up], can operate during mains failure. It can therefore be connected to a regularly-used local lighting circuit. ............... Suggesting that as they are battery backup they can be mains powered off pretty much anything....?

Knew this would be a pita - but decided to go for it . Wiring has been in for years 🙄😊 Anyway 1 wire link from the previous sensor seems dead . This cable is just mains - radio used to trigger neighbors off ( tested works fine ) . It’s I think close to impossible to thread a new cable through . Dead cable it appears to be ‘stuck’ and inaccessible. What are the rules on powering fire alarms ? . Can it be simply off a socket ( I have some in the loft that *might* make it easier ) . Or do they all have to be linked off the same mains cable supply ??? Right pita !

And what have you learnt ? - apart from don’t build a house ?

Why the (expletive deleted) @SteamyTea have you posted so much ? - I don’t recall you ever built a house !

Added . You in the market for a swing seat ?

I’ll catch up on porn hub thanks EDIT: (obvious typo…he clearly means BuildHub…him of massive thumbs). The Management.

I agree . But I’m paid via this forum for content . Without me this forum would have folded years ago . Care to join me on the dark web ?

So I’m guessing it wasn’t “ do the work “ ourselves - but get contractors in ; that correct ? light weights ! - real men ( and women ) 💪

The problem here is I want to post a pic . When I google “ sex dungeon photos “ - I think pretty much any of the ‘suggestions’ would get me banned … 🌈

Lazy like me

Ain’t that the truth !

So you concede- I am the winner !!?????

Id like to say @ProDave ! - trying to take longer than me is futile ! . I’ve got 2 yrs of work left I.e 4 yrs min . So just finish and let me win something !

It has been a long drawn out build 🤣

My bco won’t give a flying (expletive deleted) as long as he gets some “electrical sign off “ paperwork . It’s not been a long drawn out build at all ! . It’s been a joyous spurt into diy methodologies and implementations .

Dare I ask ….. 🙄😩

Then you are legends like me ! Rejoice in the futility and ( let’s be honest ) stupidity of trying to build a house on your own . We are kindred spirits !

Because you fanny around like me . Please join my other thread for ‘us’ type of people .

You’ll over spend . There will be stress . Then you’ll say it was worth it but you wouldn’t do it again . Then some nice plinky plonk music gently plays as the camera pans up away from your build and mc cloud offers some immortal words that make other viewers feel cosy yet I just swear at the screen . But ! You did it ! . That and that alone is legend status ! ( unless you’re some experienced builder or architect because you know what to do ! )

I approached grand design about my build 10 yrs ago ( I am being serious btw ) . I was told you don’t get paid ! . I told them to (expletive deleted) off because I don’t need mc cloud telling me what a shit show it is when I can work that out myself . Perhaps though I’d allow him to look now just so I can see his smug face …

My sparky did all the main install ( I just ran cables which were left exposed so he could see ) . Therefore the part P isn’t going to be an issue . It’s a seperate form from eicr though yes ? I.e bco will need these 2 - they aren’t going to ask for anything else ? What about smoke alarms ? Seperate sign off ??

I’ll check what part P is 👍

Yes ! Almost electrical sign off ! Whats required ? eicr ? Something else ??? ta !
