Current information: 2005 Part P legislation and you..
With new government legislation that came into force in January 2005, the amount of work and modifications a householder can carry out to their own electrical installation is severely limited. No longer are you able to 'run a new light up into the loft' and other items that modify your existing installation. For all work involving either adding points onto the house electrics, or just about anything in the kitchen or bathroom, an electician who has the appropriate 'domestic installer' qualification is required to carry out the work and test/certify on completion. All domestic electrical work now needs to be certified and notification submitted to the local council.
We are able to carry out work to this government legislation, providing not only the electrical installation, testing and certification, but also carry out the council notification requirement on your behalf. If you have any additions to your electrical system to be carried out, call us for a competitive, friendly quotation and advice.
To find out more about the requirements of both the electrician and householder go to the website of the niceic, the national electricians organisation.
