my first "part P" install..

[ColJack]

quoted for a board change and some sockets and lighting in a kitchen.
the LABC fee will be £46...
but as I've never had to fill in a building notice form before I would appreciate any guidance from those of you that have..

do I need to fill it all in and draw up plans etc? it's only electrical work...

In some areas you can register online and apply online.
This may help

Cheap at £46 cost.

Did you lie to them about the works value

 

[ColJack]

no, our council are very helpfull..

Dudley LABC fees

they have an extra schedule than others I've seen, one specifically for Part P..

 

[Paul_C]

Much cheaper than anything I've seen before, but they still seem to be trying to act outside the rules:

3. Relevant electrical works carried out by a competent electrician not registered with an appropriate self certification scheme but able to sign appropriate certification to demonstrate the compliance of the installation.
Application to be made using a Building Notice with a full description of the works to be given.
Appropriate certification to be provided by the electrician. The Authority will register the application but not issue a completion certificate but a letter confirming the registration and receipt of appropriate test certification.

Fee £ 40.00 + VAT

And

5. Relevant electrical works carried out by a non qualified person.

Application to be made using a Building Notice with a full description of the works given.

Registration of application £ 40.00 +VAT

No additional fee to be paid if independent certification provided from a competent electrician to validate compliance of the works.
Acceptance certificate will be issued by the Authority.
If inspection is required by the Authority to validate the works then additional charges as Appendix B will be levied.
On satisfactory completion inspection acceptance certificate will be issued by the Authority.

 

[ColJack]

so they charge you a reduced rate, and charge for testing IF needed, or charge you the full rate and don't charge for testing even if it's NOT needed?
I know which I'd prefer..
and they're not charging extra, just what you would pay anyway if they have to test for you..

 

[DCC]

no, our council are very helpfull..
