Hi
I am replacing my bathroom light with down lights. The lights I have are all Zone-1 IP65 rated, and fire rated. I am confident about installing them and wiring them correctly, but am not a certified electrician.
My house is not Part-P certified; we have an old-style fusebox, and it’s on my to-do list of things to get it replaced by a modern one and get the house certified (by a professional, obviously).
We have previously had other electrical work done (cooker hood installed, downstairs lights replaced with down lights) by professionals, and the electricians wouldn’t certify their work as we’re not part-p compliant.
What’s my legal position here? The house isn’t part-p cert anyway, so there’s nothing to ‘void’, and when I eventually get the fusebox replaced, presumably the electrician who does it will need to check that my work is OK, and also the work of the electricians who have previously worked on our house?
