I have had a new en suite shower room installed by professionals and a
building regs certificate has been issued.

The work obviously included new lights and a fan.

Should I expect a minor works certificate to cover the electrical work
in addition to the building regs certificate or is the wiring also
covered by the building regs approval.

I have had a look at the minor works certificate template and the
information contained in it is certainly not covered in the building
regs certificate.

References to authoritative information sources would be appreciated
as I may need them .

Many Thanks.

And whilst I am on can anyone tell me what would be the typical cost of
fitting 3 led downlighters in said bathroom?

It depends on how difficult/time consuming it was to do.

I changed a baton holder to 3 spot lights in a bathroom last weekend. 90
minutes work, £5 worth of parts, £10 for fuel (although I also charged
the next customer 3 miles away on the next job the same as someone has
to pay for wear and tear of the vehicle and my time to get there). The
customer supplied the spotlights.

I charged £50. If it was a job for work it would have cost £70 plus vat.

As for the certificate.

Yes you should have been issued with one if building control are
involved. That would of course add another £10 to the invoice if it was
a works job as someone has to type it up.
