Alternatively, you can use an electrician who is registered with a government approved Part P scheme, such as NICEIC or ELECSA, to carry out the work as they can self-certify and notify the work for you.
If you sell your property, you’ll need to provide the necessary certification for any works carried out – for this you’ll need a Part P inspection upon completion of your project. You can get this from your NICEIC qualified electrician.
We really recommend that you never attempt any electrical work without the necessary qualifications or without fully consulting a professional electrician first.
