is this notifiable

[emphasis303]

Hi guys

Just need to check a couple of things

A neighbour wants to rewire her two downstairs rooms to a ring from what shes telling me there on a radial.

Anyway what I want to know is whether its notifiable work?

All it would require would be to replace the cables and connect to a 32 mcb if available if not i will buy and fit, I dont think its notifiable however certainty is better than guess work.

Thanks in advance

IMO its a new circuit so it is notifiable.

thanks for the reply

As she is quite old im not sure she will unerstand the whole part p issue but i will explain to her we have to get the council to check the work and issue a certificate.

What do they usually charge for something like this?

thanks

It varies.
Have a look on your Council’s website and / or give the BCO a ring.
At a guess anything between £50 and £250+.
Given the nature of the work, hopefully yours will be at the lower end of their charging scales.
But then it might be a fixed charge no matter what the work is
Councils were given no additional government funding to implement Part P, so they must recoup theirs costs with fees.
Good luck.

Then again if you where just replacing a "section" of "damaged" cable on the circuit it would not have to be notified.

Oh yes.
And frankly my dear, I would not notify this work if I was doing it in my own home.
Who will know about it or care if it’s done properly?
But the OP’s dilemma is that he is (I think) doing it in somebody else’s home…
