Do I need an electrical certificate for certain jobs?
Anonymous user 23 February 2024 - 2.43 PM
I would like some minor jobs doing, and am not sure if they come under the 2005 regs, ie if I need them doing or certifying by a competent person. The tasks are: Replace plug sockets (all located indoors) Replace light fittings (located in the living room, kitchen and hallway) Replace an exterior light All of the above are existing fittings, not new ones
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Replacement of exisitng accessories such as switches, sockets and light fittings do not require an electrical safety certificate for installation, however it is highly recommended that such activities are carried out by a competent person.

Would always recommend to get an electrician in, but if the products are like for like replacement then any one can do it who is competent.
