Are you suggesting that under Part P he can't render his wiring in his
bathroom safe or should I say safer. Or should he just leave it as it is
and save forking out a couple of hundred pounds or so? Is this progress?


ANY work in a bathroom including just swapping a broken switch or lampholder
is classed as notifiable work and must be either carried out by a registered
contractor or notified to Building Control and inspected by them.

STUPID but what do you expect from the ****wits department

1st January new building regs (Electrical)

Lives will be lost for this political move, so no. Needed rewires will
be delayed, extension leads and adaptors will be used instead of
fitting sockets, fuseboards will not be replaced with modern CUs, and
so on. Its only effect is to impede sensible people improving their and
others' safety.

It is now an offence for us to improve our own domestic safety levels.

It is now an offence for someone with a degree in electrical and
electronic eng to rewire their house: no, a 17 year old with an NVQ must
do it instead.


Whoever put part P together is in line for some serious embarrassment.
