Hi
I started rewiring the whole of my 3-bed house in Oct 2003 and have now nearly finished.
I have half a ring main to finish of and the sockets to put on (plus a couple of extractor
fans to wire up (wires are in place, fans almost in place)) Anyway, you get the idea.
I want to get an electrician in when I'm finished and ask him/her to inspect the work for
fifty quid or so and give me a test certificate saying it is all OK. This I want for house insurance purposes. because of PartP I feel I may now be running out of time. Am I?
I heard that one has 3 months to finish off works in 2005 since the Part P (party pooper?)
law came into effect on 01 Jan 2005. (and I have only weekends to work on my electrics.)
So, two questions.
Q1. Can I legally finish all or any of this work off? If so, how long have I got?
Q2. Do I need to finish before a certain date, e.g. March 2005, in order to be able
to get an electrician to produce a *certificate* for the work?
Any advice most welcome.
Thanks in advance
