Part P	THE BUILDING REGULATIONS PART P : Domestic Electrical Safety
	Since 1 January 2005, all new electrical wiring or electrical components for a house, flat or small commercial premises linked to domestic accommodation, must be designed and installed in accordance with Part P of the Building Regulations, and may have to be notified to your Local Building Control Department. This is to reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by faulty electrical wiring in the home. This is often caused by DIY enthusiasts or unqualified people. Such work done to your house will require Certification to be provided when you sell your house, and also for Insurance purposes. As qualified, competent electricians we undertake Notifiable works for you and take control of the whole process
