Hi, make a call to elecsa help line, they will say if minor works cert. is enough for registration inspection. I think it will be as apart from wanting to see all your paper work, regs. book , on-site guide, guidance notes etc.
they will know from your minor works cert plus questions about the rest of the installation if you understand what you are doing!
Don't forget once you do even minor works you must check on existing earthing in the property, main, equipotential & supplementary, also it does not matter if the job they look at is Part P reportable or not, in fact if it were then you could not do it in the first place!
Your method seems OK & it does not need reporting but still requires Minor works cert. issueing to customer, regards
