[James360]

Hi i am new to the forum i am a industrial electrician in the water industry with 35 years experience I have my 18th editition and considering getting my part p , i want to rewire my daughters house would i be allowed to if i had my part p ? i am not a member of any professional organisations like NIC etc

I would speak to building control to see what they would require from you. They may only require a completion certificate from yourself or they may request that they have the installation verified by one of their own inspectors at your cost.

Part P is part of the building documents you must comply with, it is not a qualification and as such you're not required to hold it. You can download the document for free online.

A rewire is classed as notifiable works so building control would need to be informed, as per my first line.

hi thanks for the replies , does a registered competent person have to be a member of any trade body ?

 

[ruston]

For a one off job it will be as cheap , if not cheaper to put a building notice in than to join a scheme..
Speak to the building inspector , he will probably accept your qualifications.
They have that option.

A word of caution. I have seen a few industrial sparks come a cropper doing domestic! It is a bit different. You can't put steel conduit all around for a start.

Hi - in England and Wales being on the Competent Persons Register indicates the person is able to self assess and notify any Local Building Control of works. There’s no requirement for any further memberships, if that’s what you mean (?).

Competent Persons Register | Home

Competent person schemes (CPS) were introduced by the Government to allow individuals and enterprises to self-certify that their work complies with the Building Regulations.

how do you get on the competent persons register ?

contact niceic or one of the other schemes.

 

[Andrew Hunter]

Dont need to be on competent person scheme send them your quals your probably more qualified than the building control officer, assuming you have your test and inspection certificate.
They do have this option and i have used it a couple of times. it also helps if you are an employee in a company that is registered and let them know this and who you work for. Again 'assuming' you work for a reputable company and are not a subby to jack the lad.

Subbys are people too ya know. Not everyone wants to be cards in
