Default Part P / Kitchen

Am I correct in thinking that replacing the wiring from a kitchen oven
back to the CU is not notifiable?

Yes, kitchen is no longer a "special location" unless yours has a
bath/shower/sauna/pool so replacing anything is fair game, adding a new
circuit is supposedly not ... varies in Wales and Scotland.

Is it a new circuit or a repair of an old one? Replacing damaged cable
is allowed, isn't it?

Now that depends on why the cable is been replaced.

A like for like because the cable was damaged was never notifiable.

If it takes the same route, is there anything to stop me using say 10mm
cable instead of the original 6mm?

Yes, it's not a like for like. Part P specifically mentions this (or
used to).


But you could just tell a small white lie and say it was 10mm you replaced.

There are no Part P police.
