Default Should I get any papers for minor electrical work?

Adding an extractor to an existing circuit is as far as I know not a
notifiable activity even in a 'special location'.


Adding any new fitting in a kitchen is notifiable. Replacing an
existing one in a kitchen (or bathroom) wouldn't be, neither would
adding a fitting to an existing circuit outside of these locations.

Initially there was a option for notifying all sorts of minor works under
self certification. This included adding heating controls and extensions
to existing circuits and other more extensive electrical works.

Last year and this year the option (on the web site), for notifying
electrical work, of "extensions to existing circuits"
has disappeared. I wrongly (?) assumed that some sort of back tracking on
the implementation of the scheme has taken place.
