Important householder information

All electrical installations in domestic properties are are covered by safety standards set out in Part P of the Building Regulations (January 2005).

This means that, with few exceptions, any electrical work done in your home such as the addition of a new electrical circuit or any work in your kitchen, bathroom or garden area must be notified to the Local Authority Building Control for inspection. It even includes work that has been carried out professionally, by you or another family member or friend.

As a contractor registered with the ELECSA Competent Persons Scheme I can certify that the work meets the required standards and that it has been notified to the local authority.

ELECSA
 
ELECSA approved contractors are independently assessed to ensure that they operate to the highest safety standards. If the work you’ve had done is affected by Part P, I will notify ELECSA of the job done and you will receive a building compliance certificate from ELECSA so that you know that the work has been registered with your Local Authority Building Control.

You will almost certainly have to produce this certificate at a later date, so when it arrives, please keep it in a safe and secure place.
 
ELECSA can offer you additional security by providing you the opportunity to purchase a warranty for the work that has just been completed. If you have not already been given a copy of the Part P leaflet from the Electrical Contractors’ Insurance Company Limited (ECIC) contact ECIC directly on 0845 034 3755.
