Thanks for clarifying. Remember what PBoD said that, at present, since it is in a kitchen, the law would require you to notify the local authority about this work (and pay their substantial fees). On April 6th, this will cease to be the case in England, but I'm not sure about Wales.
I'm not so sure in this case. I reminded him about the notification business since he seemed to be a person who was quite concerned about compliance with regs and laws. Indeed, if he wasn't, I doubt that he would even have bothered to ask the questions!
You may,of course, be right. However, I suppose I'm probably a bit naive in giving people the benefit of the doubt - but, unlike so many others, this OP does not really seem to have written anything which necessarily suggests to me) that (s)he is "only hearing what they want to hear". I guess we'll probably never know!
Provided the work is done competently and the circuit is RCD protected, then it should be compliant with part P. If the necessary notification is also made, it will also be compliant with the current law.
