Mate at work wants to remove a spotlight over the bath (not a zone1 fitting
so very naughty)
and replace with one of those extractors combined with a light in the middle
that are built for the purpose.
does he need a part p electrician to do this or can he DIY ?
and just for sake of asking, could he put a Zone1 fitting (just a light) on
his own or again Part P sparks only?
TIA

How "naughty" the situation is depends on when it was installed and
the precise construction of the fitting.

Assuming your mate's house is in England or Wales he can:

1) get an electrician qualified to self-certify work to do it

2) do it himself and fill in the paperwork for a council official to
inspect it

3) do it himself

Note that the third option might be described as "naughty" by the
likes of Mr Prescott.

As naughty as giving a heckler a left hook, or more naughty ? Or
perhaps as naughty as bonking your staff maybe??

David,
I'm planning to replace an electric shower unit and uprate the cable. I
also thought your option 2 was valid but I can't find the reference to it in
the IEE guide. Also, the local council building control have said I need to
approach an approved electrician.
Can you give me a pointer to where it says that this approach is allowed?
Regards
Phil

Use a search engine on this group. It is covered in great detail,
with references to the legislation.

If it only involves a replacement and does not require any new fixed
cabling, it doesn't need to be notified. The new work should meet
current guidance, but who's to know (except the Coroner)?

I cant see where the part P approved document says that. According to
the approved document "any" work in a bathroom requires notification.
The list of non notifiable "minor works" specifically excludes
bathrooms and other such locations from the exemptions
