Default Should I get any papers for minor electrical work?

[I'm registered for Part P with CORGI - other guilds may do things
differently]
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.


AFAIK, CORGI can't 'self-certify' work not directly related to the
installation of a gas appliance.


That's not what I pay umpteen hundreds of quid for!
They are one of the 10 Part P guilds. Are you saying that I can only
install a new kitchen ring final circuit if I also install a boiler at the
same time?


Not directly related so no, assuming the previous limiting statement
is correct.

I read it as meaning you can only do works directly related to gas
appliances, e.g. fitting a new circuit to supply to a boiler, but
maybe not an immersion heater circuit.
