I thought the exceptions were all work in kitchens and bathroms were notifiable

Just asking.

No, and the swap need not be identical, the SI makes all clear (find it in the wiki)

That's what I thought any work in bathrooms or kitchens ( special locations ) need to be notified, no matter how minor.

Have you actually read the SI ?

Like for like exchange might not be compulsory to notify or certify, in it was my electric shower, I would feel a whole lot happier to know that the bonding was well within tolerance and the rcd was operating accurately. Just the thought, brrrrr
