Now that I have retired I no longer keep up my registration & so cannot sign off any work that is covered by the legislation, I am occasionally asked to do jobs not covered by part P, but was recently giving the matter some thought. My understanding is that if I advise a potential customer that I am not registered & that they will need to organise their own certification through their BCO then it is in order for me to carry out the work they request. However suppose they do not arrange inspections & lie to me, do I have a responsibility to check with BCO. I also make it clear they are taking the risks from an insurance point of view. I should also point out I am not taking the work from registered guys as I will only take on jobs for people who have not been able to get anyone else interested in carrying out small jobs(sparks are like hens teeth out in the sticks)
Part P a different slant

I'm not sure whether it is the person carrying out the work, or the householder that will be held responsible for not notifying, but if I were you, I wouldn't risk it. I would inform the customer that the fee is payable and add that to the quote, then I would notify the BCO myself and be there for the inspection. That way you can't be held responsible for carrying out notifiable work etc...
It is the person who carries out the work who is responsible for notification! I looked into this prior to joining a scheme...

"am occasionally asked to do jobs not covered by part P,"
Don`t forget - all electrical installation works in a domestic (defined) premises is covered by Part P, but not all of it is notifiable though
