building control question.

according to Part P, the notification is down to the householder, and the council are obliged to carry out any in inspection and testing at no cost to the housholder.

if this is the case ill just do it and leave the notifying up to the customer, that would be ideal!

ignore that, regulation 1.26 was altered in 2010, but before that they should not have charged you. sneaky blighters, they didnt publicise this very well!!

Give LABC a call and ask them what the price is.

Don't give them any details about the job your doing or anything, as they may come and check earlier.
Tell them that your a sparky and you will do your own installation Certs (and make sure you do!)

My LABC charges me £60 to inspect my work after I have certificated the installation, and they dont mind when I inform them as I am doing the cert and they dont need to see the work in progress.

Otherwise go onto your council website and search for BC and have a look on there, it is with my local councils.

Now your thinking
In the real world where jobs dont involve building control for other reasons.part p is non existent to a great degree
To the letter of the law it may be naughty not notifying,but thousands if not millions of households are being very naughty and have done so since its inception
The other alternative is wait

Part p in my opinion is finished,thats if it ever got started in the first instance

Even us registered sparks are blissfully ignorant of what is and isn't notifiable after all these years,so what chance the vast majority of householders who have never heard of the nonsense
