Garden Room Electrics - Part P
I have recently had my Garden Room (one new circuit added and consumer unit in garden room) connected to my house (around 10m away) - I have been provided with a Condition Report and Certificate for Minor Works. I am told by the electrician that these works are not classed as 'notifiable' and therefore I have not been provided with a Building Regulation Part P Certification. Please can I have opinions? Thanks

Can i control living & dining room lighting separately?
Hi, I have a combined living/dining room with separate light fittings for the living and dining room areas. The problem is that both areas are controlled by the same single light switch. How much work would be required and what would the cost be to remove the single switch and install two separate switches to control both areas individually. Thanks
Equipment Burning Out
I've had to replace 5 new combi ovens. The microwave part of the oven burns out but the actual oven and grill remain in good working order. Could this be caused by faulty wiring that somehow damages the microwave but not the entire oven? I'm desperate to get to the root of this problem as I can't afford to keep replacing my combi ovens the last two of which were Kupperbusch and Hotpoint. Also worried that the wiring might be unsafe. Thank you
