illegal or not

[Cristino]

I have a question.
Is it not illegal for unqualified people to do their own electrics? or does that only apply if your doing it for someone else?

Not usually.

But have a look at the Wiki on part P and stuff.

Neither - what on earth made you think it might be?

Some electrician came to fit new lights in our bathroom and told us that. Obviously just wanted more business. My step-dad still thinks it's true and won't let me do the electrics.

bathroom

Certain rules apply.

Yup - but none of them say it's illegal for you to do work if you are unqualified.
