Hello all,
This is my first post on what I have found to be a very useful forum.
I have spent many hours trawling through google and regulations. I know the Part P regulations do not stop people from doing DIY electrical work in the home, but I am finding it difficult to see how someone can do DIY electrical work without being a fully qualified electrician.
I have added 2 sockets to a ring circuit. Under the Part P regulations this is considered non-notifiable work.
I am quite happy that I have done a good job, but I have been doing further reading since I installed the sockets.
While this work and other such work in non-notifiable am I correct in assuming that work like this requires a minor works certificate? And if so does that mean that other non-notifiable electrical works also require a minor works certificate, such as changing a socket or ceiling rose?
Is this correct(I hope not)? I am quite happy to do the installation, but I don't have the equipment to test the circuit and I'm not exactly sure how anyway. Also I am aware that someone else can't really provide a minor works certificate for my work, if that is whats required.
Kenny
