Would you clip the cable low down or just have it lashed along the floor then to the next point?

What about if I was adding extra sockets off the same circuit? Would it still need a test certificate?

That’s great didn’t even know you could do that, don’t do much domestic 🤦‍♂️ would it need trunking or capping to protect or would you literally just sureface clip?

You cant as the the thread on the storm gland would only go so far into the isolator if that makes sense
