Okay,
Looking at Part P I am exempt if:
I am re-wiring a playroom, to include FCU's and additional sockets off an existing ring. This will take me a few weeks. At the end of this time, I will 'accidentally' install a new kitchen. As the room technically isn't a kitchen yet, all I am doing is (ii) above, adding a few new sockets.
Anyone care to comment?
P.S. As an aside, I was planning to add a dedicated cooker circuit from the main CU to the playroom, as the cooker in the old kitchen doesn't have one (it runs off the existing ring!), which I believe I do need building regs (Part P) for, so it looks like I'll need to get them in anyway!

Work which -
(a) is not in a kitchen, or a special location,
(b) does not involve work on a special installation, and
(c) consists of -
(i) adding light fittings and switches to an existing circuit;
(ii) adding socket outlets and fused spurs to an existing ring or radial circuit; or
(iii) installing or upgrading main or supplementary equipotential bonding.
