Does Part P Apply To Me?

Part P applies to all electrical installation work carried out in dwellings.  However, you do not need to tell your local authority's Building Control department about:

• repairs and maintenance work or
• extra power points or lighting points or other alterations to existing circuits (except in specially defined areas such as a kitchen, bathroom or outdoors)

If you are unsure you should contact your local authority's Building Control department or, if you are already dealing with a Competent Person, they should be able to advise you.

To find your local Building Control department visit the LABC website.
