why wouldnt part p have caught it?
either a self cert electrician who knows damn well what hes doing would be the installer so wouldnt do this
or the first fix would be inspected by the council and this abortion identified and have to be done properly
unless your saying about the people who are pretending part p hasnt happened?
(or you've just done me hook,line n sinker
)No, because Part P alone will not allow you to sign of your own work. So you would have to get building control in to inspect the work. By the time they turn up, the wall would have been filled, plastered or painted!

If you do notify and call building control to inspect the work they come after the first fix before the work is covered up. If it is covered up they would ask you to expose it to satisfy them anyway.
BJS, my experience is totally different.
Building control weren't interested in checking the first fix or the final installation.
They just wanted a cert, which they wouldn't do themselves either.
I know, I know.... They have to, but my local building control office wont. I called the office of the dept pm and told them and they said they'd make some calls but nothing moved forward so I did a regs course, borrowed a tester and did the testing myself.

I was speaking to an ex colleague the other evening and a friend of his had just moved into a new property. He was called round to have a look, and some strange 'reliefs' were pointed out between two wall lights. Turns out the previous occupant had just covered the t&e, running in all directions, with wallpaper.

it might not have been notifiable work. maybe adding a socket in a sitting room and the nearest socket was in the rom upstairs.
