U WOT M8?

Are you serious?

OK, let's say you add an outlet in your living room. Your landlord comes by for "a cuppa" and sees it. He can call the police on you?

He could, but I really doubt they would bother unless there has been an actual injury or death caused by my installation.

More likely is he will call up council building control to come out and check the installation and charge £500+ then add VAT and pass the bill to me. If he was more reasonable he will get one of his own electricians to come and give it a once over and tick a box in a certificate, then give me a bill for £100+VAT. Without that cert he can't sell the property on, etc.

This was brought in with the connivance of the big building companies and the Labour government, on the basis that there were something like 3 recorded deaths in 20 years due to electrical wiring installations, and also how effective the FENSA scheme was in employing pointless shiny-arsed busy bodies for overseeing the glazing industry.

Yes, did you know that it is also illegal to replace a broken window pane yourself? You need an expert to putty it in you know. Someone with a certificate from the FENSA quango. Otherwise you can get a FENSA inspector from the local council to come and check your putty has cured and charge £100's for the privilege. And I thought the Window Tax was abolished in the middle ages?

This is what you get when you vote socialists into power. They have to create non-jobs for life for their mates, and they love their backhanders from large corporations too.  :rant: :rant: :rant:
