Part P

In January 2005, Part P of the Building Regulations came into force. These regulations introduced safety standards to electrical installations within domestic properties.

This means that, with few exceptions, any electrical work undertaken in your home such as the addition of a new electrical circuit or any work in your kitchen, bathroom or garden area must be notified to the Local Authority Building Control for inspection.

For further information about building work and repairs to your home and what you need to be aware of, Communities and Local Government have written the following document.

» Building work, replacements and repairs to your home

By using a contractor who is registered with a Competent Persons Scheme such as ELECSA, the contractor will be able to self-certify that the work meets the required standards and that it has been notified to the local authority.

Who are ELECSA?

ELECSA is a Government appointed organisation delivering an independent, no nonsense certification scheme for competent trades people who undertake domestic electrical installation work.
