Hi Sparx, I can totally understand your frustration with all the red-tape and extra costs. It really is inverse thinking. The powers that be say the want safer wiring. The way to do that is to encourage people to use professionals rather than their mates from the pub or DIY. Yet they load up the pro...

Yes, of course I was forgetting that there is no such thing as an accident anymore - someone must be responsible (and more importantly,liable). I'm surprised this story didn't result in the total banning of metal ktichen fittings, metal sinks and anyone drilling a hole in any wall within 15m of gas/...

Sparx, I am really grateful for all of your input on this, but I am getting more confused rather than less. As I understand it, Part P was primarily bought in to stop DIYers doing their own (major?) wiring work. However, you are saying that, for the work I propose, it is not Part P that is restricti...

Hi Sparx, So to clarify the situation as interpreted by you (I hope!). The work I am proposing is not notifiable under Part P. As such I can do it myself. However, the work needs to be tested (and recorded) by a qualified person once completed. Presumably then you beleive this would also apply if I ...

I've just found the references to inspection and testing of minor work in Part P. it seems that the minor work certificate only applies if the work is carried out by those qualified to BS7671. All it says with regard to DIY minor work is that "DIYers may wish to employ a qualified third party t...

Sorry but I'm confused now. Having read the Part P documents, the work I am planning appears to "non-notifiable" in the same way that replacing a damaged socket outlet would. Are you saying that even for this work, some form of certificate has to be completed? I can see nothing about that ...

Hi Andy, Thanks for the confirmation. Both rooms involved will be bedrooms and neither have any sinks/showers etc. I'm fairly confident regarding the lighting circuit. I have always done my own wiring prior to Part P. I must admit that I did find the ceiling rose wiring confusing the first time I di...

Part P notice required?

I've converted a large bedroom into 2 with a stud wall. I need to move the position of the original ceiling rose, add a new one to the same lighting circuit with another switch for the new bedroom. I have read the Part P documents and reckon that this should be "non-notifiable" as it is &q...
