Rewire specification for home av, lighting, power and security

jinx_uk_98

Hi,

Just wondered what, if anything, you changed from that initial spec you posted?

Am in a similar position and am a bit confused about the AV type stuff.

diable

Cat 6 a bit of an over kill, what is the value of the property are you staying there for the next 20 years and don't forget about the heated bathroom floor and the motion detector for the external lights.

by the NICEIC .The work could be carried out by any one approved as a" part P" installer.
