Part P Building Regulations

On January 1st 2005 legislation came into effect which brought electrical work in dwellings under the Building Regulations. This amendment to the Building Regulations, known as 'Part P', imposes safety requirements, and also classifies electrical installation work into two basic categories, notifiable and non-notifiable. As a general summary any major work such as rewires, fuseboard upgrades and installing new circuits, plus work in bathrooms, kitchens and gardens is notifiable and it must be notified, with a fee payable, to your Local Authority’s Building Control department.

On completion of notifiable work, you will be issued with an Electrical Installation Certificate by your electrician. Once your Local Authority has been notified, you will receive a further Certificate of Compliance for the work carried out.

At Elec-Sec Ltd we carry out all of this on your behalf with every installation we undertake.
