Hi,
A quick question. I am ELECSA registered and just about to register a new extension which is part of the original house.

Hi all,
I'm currently near completion of my 1st year 2365-02.
I don't think I'm looking to a change my current occupation ( Paving & Landscape Contractor ) to 'full-time' sparky.

Has anyone heard of the changes to Part P that are coming into force?
Work in areas such as Kitchens now now not require notification to building control. Wasn't work
Does anyone know what is happening with the new 3rd party inspection system that is coming in with the changes to Part P.
