With all this Part P stuff flying around can someone help me with the following because I am a diy'er but consider myself competent enough to do simple electricty tasks:

I want to replace the extractor fan in my kitchen. There is a FCU above the kitchen wall cabinet next to where I want to put the new one and this is on the main circuit. Can I make the connection? Do I need to notify LABC? Do I need a qualified electrician to do it? Is it better to change the FCU to a socket and plug the extractor in? If I can change it, is it okay to have a socket above the wall cabinet?

I'm looking to do this properly so any good advice would be appreciated.

You can replace the fan like for like without notification.

Thanks Spark, so no electrician involvement needed.

Same principle then, can I put in an integrated oven and wire it into the connection box behind the oven? The connection box is wired to the cooker socket above the surface, so it's all wired up properly.
 
It is not notifiable if it falls into the scope of "(c) re-fixing or replacing enclosures of existing installation components, where the circuit protective measures are unaffected;"
