Wiring new induction hob to fusebox

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.22 PM

UPDATE: Thanks all for your answers. it looks like We're not adding a new circuit just extending the oven one to host the hob's too. We agreed I'd get a certificate for it. It wouldnt be the kitchen fitter connecting it but his fully qualified electrician. Hello! I'm having an argument with my kitchen fitter about whether we need to notify building regs for hard wiring the new induction hob into the fuse box and the new oven (oven is like for like replacement). He's saying we're not using a new circuit so this is not required. We keep reading otherwise online. I also asked for a certificate and he said his electrician can provide one in my name. Is this correct? Shouldn't it be in the electrician's name? Very confused, literally keep showing him the regulations online and just telling me I'm reading them wrong. Can anyone enlighten me?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Oh goodness the regs and Partp can be very confusing to some electricians never mind landlords so this is understandable. If the circuit is existing its not notifiable works if its extended a minor works cert should be issued. looks like its like for like in which case i dont believe a minor works is required either. Whatv is required for any electrical works is a qualified electrician so you do not encounter any of these issues. A qualified electrician will always certify his work accordingly if it requires one whereas all kitchen fitters wouldn't necessarily.

If there isn’t an addition of a new circuit then it isn’t notifiable work. If it’s an addition to an existing circuit then he can provide a minor works certificate. Hope this helps

BS7671:18 Regs say that if its a new circuit, as in you are running a new cable from the consumer unit to the kitchen, then it is notifiable work. If he is coming off an existing circuit or just changing the accessory then its not notifiable but still needs a minor electrical works certificate. He can complete the work and then get somebody else to certify the work to check that it's safe and done properly.

The work is certifiable as it is a new installation if appliances are new. If the wiring is existing and no new circuit was provided then the circuit need yo be tested and a minor works certification is required. Where a new circuits is porovided for the new appliances the work need to be tested and commissioned and a electrical installation certificate supplied to the customer or the person ordering the work. The work may also be notifiable to building control if the installer is not part P Registered.

As mentioned above. If its an existing circuit, with no alterations apart from fitting a new oven, then it does not need to be notified.

This is what you get when kitchen fitters are playing with electrics. It ( usually ) ends up a right old lash up. Just a minor works certificate you need. Probably be signed by Mickey Mouse though.
