nothing to stop you. Fit smokes etc and https://www.eielectronics.ie/wp-content/uploads/FDAS-Certificate-of-Design-Installation-Commissioning.pdf fill in form and issue to your self.

Battery has to have 10 year life span to comply, after 10 years it’s earned it’s money

Wish the guidance was a bit clearer though. im sure the last time I read something about it it said every home needed, it’s not exactly legal speak, normally words like mandatory are used. also is it the start or end Feb for completion? Good to know deadlines, so one can ensure compliance eh?

You also get battery powered radio linked versions that comply.. https://www.safelincs.co.uk/radio-interlinked-smoke-alarms/

If you are going for something that’s rewirable Use conduit and adaptors

Plasterer’s sharp trowel!

2 bits of wood overlapped for a distance of 1m. he should specify fixings, interval of fixings too

Buy a humidity meter first if all, to determine the % in the house, then decide if dehumidifiers are needed.

A DC rotary isolator in the loft for your install that will be completed at a later date makes perfect sense.

Variac for testing purposes with bridge rectifier?

Nice looking set up!

Spray bleach onto it?

It’s not gravel it’s called deafening

What’s the minimum string voltage for the inverter?

No he said breaker was changed

Replace the relay then. have a look at RS Components, CPC, Farnell. For something with the same markings/specification

Counterbatten? also helps hold up insulation

I’ve got 200mm in the floor and 190 in the walls, toasty,toasty. wish the Victorian built part was as good, but slowly slowly

Slack terminals? condensation inside RCD enclosure? tired and old Wylex RCD?

Try to get out of it by advising there was no warning tape? the cable want at the appropriate depth?

You have to watch when screwing timber down on top of a carpet, seen many screw grab a thread in the carpet and pull it, ruining the carpet.

I would rather make a few holes and get the cables in right place and get the plasterers back to fill. I wouldn’t want to be looking at any surface cabling.

Slates is the common roof finish in my area, and at the start of the FIT my installer had no problem fitting mine, and let’s say the industry was still young in the UK brackets are available for each install and like every install each judged on its own merit and installed accordingly. nearly 11 years in and no issues..

Yes, it makes sense but at the right price. or fit some cabling during the build and do the install later? or DIY or find a spark on day rate to connect up energy prices only go up so anything that can assist will be helpful
