• What is Part P? Do you meet the criteria?

  As of 1 January 2005, it is a legal requirement for all work on fixed electrical installations in homes and buildings to comply with relevant standards. The relevant UK standard is BS 7671:2018, Requirements for electrical installations (The IET Wiring Regulations 18th Edition). BS 7671 covers requirements for design, installation, inspection, testing, verification and certification of electrical installations. This is Part P.
  
  Part P states that anyone carrying out electrical installation work in a home must make sure that the work is designed and installed to protect people from fire and electric shocks.
  
  Part P applies to any changes made to existing installations, including any parts that have been rewired. In April 2013 further changes were introduced.
  
  Part P applies to all electrical work in dwellings, whether carried out by professionals or DIYers. Some DIY work will require the submission of a building notice to the local authority and the payment of a building control fee.
  
  You can be assured that all our staff are fully trained to BS 7671 18th edition standards.
