i think any work carried out in a bathroom needs an electrical cert, even if your just swapping like for like.
can i wire up my boilers to a spur pulled of a socket?.
you can wire a boiler to an exsisting fuse spur. If you are altering the fixed wiring then it will require a new electrical cert.
can i wire a y plan?.
This will require a electricla cert.
can i change repair and rewire an element?.
Yes, aslong as your not altering the exsisting fixed wiring circuit.
from what i can remember from the regs (been a while) you can change like for like (socket for a socket) without any problems. If you need to alter the fixed wiring of any circuit then you will need to test and cert. If you need to add a new circuit you need to test and cert. Any work in bathrooms and kitchens needs to be be tested and certed.

agree, they are 'special locations' therefore if connecting boiler in kitchen to fused spur then its notifiable and you need a cert to comply with part 'p'
any work outside 'specail locations' needs minor works' certificate
imo
