Run boiler electric cable through cavity to outside.

[omits]

Isolating switch (IP65) outside with the control flex within a plastic conduit. The job is to move the control cable for the boiler from inside (old internal boiler) to new external boiler direct through the leaves sealed. Is that OK? Should I uprate the flex (although it is effectively a lighting rating (5A) I think)? When the electrician checks it I want him to be satisfied. Thanks.

I meant 'through the leaves' to mean through the cavity in conduit. Is this acceptable?

It depends how pedantic the electrician is. This was the advice to wire an outbuilding and the boiler is an outbuilding, however as time has gone on, we see reports like this on the problems with a broken PEN.

An electrician has to make a risk assessment, you can get in installation certificate with three signatures, one for design, one for the installation, and one for the inspection and testing, however with domestic most electricians have to be scheme members, and so they have a single signature for all. Clearly they can't sign for some thing they have not done, I say sign, I have just had the pack for work done on my house, and where the signature should have been, it had the name of the electrician in a script font.

But be it an installation certificate or an electrical installation condition report, or a minor works certificate, it is the person who signs it who has to decide if it is good enough, it does not matter how daft I think he has been, it's his signature. And so he has the final word.

The oil supply is separately earthed back to the house distribution from the oil cut off valve.
