This document introduces the changes to UK Building Regulation Part P and specifies whether electrical circuit alteration works need to be reported to local building control

It details what work requires notification, such as new circuits or bathroom installations, and what does not, like adding sockets in kitchens. It also covers compliance, certification, and how to find registered electricians via NICEIC or ELECSA.
The guide warns that non-compliance can result in fines or legal issues when selling a property, and outlines protections like the Platinum Promise for registered contractors.
Installation of a new circuit, replacement of a consumer unit, or alterations to existing circuits in a 'special location' like a bathroom.
No, Scotland uses the Building Standards system instead.
A protection for homeowners that covers rectifying non-compliant work for up to six years, up to £25,000 per installation.
