If you have hired a registered electrician who is a member of one of the various comptent persons schemes e.g. NICEIC etc, then its their job to self certify the work and notify building control on your behalf. If they have not done this then you need to find out why asap! as its the householder who is liablie for the £5000 fine if the work is not notified and if it does not comply to part P standards. If you would like to explain your concern in more detail, i.e. the work you have had carried out etc I may be able to help further. Please click on "like" if the above is any help.

If you are using a self-certifying electrician-he is responsible for that. Any electrical work undertaken in a house must be done by qualified electrician and part P registered-ask him about his registration number and ring the relevant body to double check. Also ask to see public liability insurance for a piece of mind.

hi i thought that the whole ideal of paying yearly to a part p body such as elecsa, nappit, niceic, corgi/benchmark ect is they are guarenteing your work . if it is not done correctly and a complaint is made and not rectified some one from that body will send some one to sort it out and the person will be struck off .

If you use a Part P approved trades person, they will inform their trade body who will in turn inform your LBC of notifiable work. If you do not use a Part P registered person the householder has to inform the LBC before commencing work, they will inspect and charge you for the inspection. You will better off using a registered trades person, but ensure you see their registration card before they start any work

If you engage a part P approved contractor, they will self certify the work and notify Building Control via Elecsa (or one of the others). If you use anyone else then you would notify building control and they would arrange to supervise the work which will be more time consuming and costly.

not sure what LBC is, but under part P rules it is down to the tradesman to notify the governing body, NICEIC, Elecsa or NAPIT
