Spur off socket?

[Sdfuk]

Hi

I need to spur off from a socket in one bedroom through the wall to another. It’s a simple job which I’ve done before but just wanted to know whether or not you actually need to be Part P registered in order not to invalidate house insurance etc.

Cheers

You can spur off a socket without Parp PEEE etc.

However....is the existing socket a spur already? (in which case you cannot) or is it on a ring final, or a radial? (in which case you can).

If you don't know the answer to the questions then you really shouldn't be doing the work at all!

OK, cheers I’ll double check the socket. Spoke to the electrician I use and he said it’s ok to go ahead.

Thanks

There is no such thing as Part P registration. Part P is a building regulation, that’s all.

...and you have to comply with it whatever you are doing.

It has nothing to do with registration or notification.

So, even if I do it myself someone has to check it?

Strictly speaking it would be good to get a ZS/ELI off the socket to make sure it will be low enough. Just make sure when you do it the conductors are all tight.
