[ncoups]

Do councils have to offer notification? I called my council today and they had no idea what i was talking about.

What council is it?
All council will have guidelines on building regulations, you will have either got an idiot on the phone or work experience!

Ealing, they have notification for building works etc.
nothing on website either about electrical works.

They wont, it will come under table 3 of the charges.

Table 3 charges
Table 3 charges are for other works not covered by table 2 or table 1 (see below). Typically this could be for something like the formation of a ground floor WC under the stairs of an existing house. The charges relate to the estimated cost of the works and should include a reasonable amount for labour.

You will need to fill in a building application form, which can be download from this link;

They do vary from council to council, mine charge about £130 for work under £2000.

Some London Councils are over £350 - rip off - they never visit or test - just blatant money grabbing.

Does it really surprise you that Ealing are charging that much?
Could be worse though, our flush neighbours just down the A40 in the RBKC have to pay a minimum of £293+vat.
