Part P

In January 2005 the Government introduced electrical safety rules for dwellings into the Building Regulations for England and Wales.

What does Part P mean?

Most electrical work carried out on a domestic /commercial property needs to be proven that it is safe. This can only be achieved through either Part P inspection and test or by Minor Work Certification carried out by an approved Part P electrician.

Who is responsible for making sure that electrical work meets Part P standards?

By law all homeowners and landlords must be able to prove that electrical installation system meets Part P standards, otherwise they will be committing a criminal offence.

We advice and recommend that you use a Part P registered electrician for your own safety and peace of mind.
