Anything that needs to be notified means that you need to be a member of a competent persons scheme and registered to carry out electrical works.

Job done

Things are starting to get complicated as they did with the other Part P thread of mine lol

Ok the bloke I work for has Part P, he is registered with Corgi electrical so can complete the electrical aspects of his plumbing work, anyone think that's incorrect?

 

[Barry98]

Sounds good to me

 

[dancinplumba]

[armyash]

So who here actually does their own electrics and what quals do you have and are you registered with Corgi?

 

[dancinplumba]

i think that the chap you work with has it right, doing his own gas an electrics, he takes full responsibility

i wonder if the installation of a higher rated (kw) shower or cooker needs notifying? due to the need to ensure cable size and protective devices are correct? im guess it would need to be if the fuse/cb was changed.

for example how many times do you get asked to fit a shower and find they want a 7kw changing for a 10kw. cant remember the number of times i have tried to explain the differences to a customer.

They do need notifying - but that's what electricians are for!

imho

 

[armyash]

When you say 'they need notifying', who exactly?

Yep, but bizarrely defined scope Part P allows you to replace a like for like cable - for example, if it's been damaged.

in the form of a cert to who ever your registered to ie. corgi, or more likely nicieceeeecececece what ever there called🙂

or you can notify to local building control and pay for them to inspect it for a few hundred squids.

if registered with Corgi, complete a cert and and send to them? would there be a cost involved or is it that just the procedure?

im thinking its an anual fee with a small fee if a building compliance cert is required, im not 100%sure. Ask your engineer how he deals with it. Im a qualified sparks but i dont get much electrical work for my private work so currently have no need to notify anything.
