    I normally hate it when people do this, but feel as though your post needs querying.

    OP implies at least that the installation will be supplied from a dwelling,

    Do they? where abouts?

    so Part P will apply to some extent

    ONLY if it has some connection to a domestic dwelling according to Part P, I don't the document to hand so can't quote it.

    never mind where the stables are. More important is applying 7671 if you get my drift.

    Exactly, which I why I mentioned it.

    In his stables

    Ok, you have me there, but still don't see how stables apply to Part P. Unless like I have mentioned previous it is linked to a domestic dwelling.

    I've got a money saving idea.

    Get a sparky to do it properly then you won't risk invalidating your home or business insurance, plus the likelyhood of you killing a person or animal are reduced.

    Whilst i don't disagree with having a properly qualified sparky doing the work there is nothing wrong in reading / learning about how something should be done.

    It stops cowboys doing dangerous things for a start.
    It also allows for people to understand what they are quoted for and to question if things don't look right.

    A properly qualified engineer in any field shouldn't be upset by customers querying against quotes v's regs.

    Keeping people in ignorance is never a good state of play (in my mind anyway).
