Part P question
Many years ago my father built a garage and it took him possibly a couple of
years to fix guttering. The principle reason was to get out of paying increased rates in those days. This was a build wasn't rated until it was signed off. Eventually because it was in use he capitulated. However with Part 'P', what's to stop a notice to include rewire, adding of additional circuits, circuits to (unbuilt) outhouses and sheds etc with the intention of never "finishing" the work? Is there a time-limit for the completion of work? When sold it would be up to the new owners to choose whether to have the work "finished" or inspected. Where am I going wrong? |

Is there a time-limit for the completion of work? No, but there are usually time limits on the appliccability of versions of the regs; i.e. if you start work under the old regs you would have a certain period of time after the introduction of new regs to complete the work under the old regs. However, if you take longer than that, you'd probably have to complete the work to the new regs. Owain I accept that but generally part P isn't going to change a great deal and wiring regs don't change that much either. However if there was a hideous change then it would be best to finalise and get an inspection done. This would only cover the actual work done. In essence you're agreeing that a catch all application will cover one's arse so to speak which never needs to be "finished"! |
