Part P Face and my view on it

[westward10]

So just been to see sister in law who has had her en suite redone, electrics done by bathroom peoples "electrician". So no rcd protection, cpcs unconnected at fan isolator, flex for cabinet lights on unenclosed block connector in wall cavity, underfloor heating and a new socket for the bedroom both on a radial from the existing ring final with no circuit protection but this bit does have existing additional rcd protection. I wanted to pull a downlight out but didn't want to damage the ceiling, dread to think how they are connected. Apparently they have finished and will be sending her a Certificate for Part P compliance, not on my watch he won't be. He is going to rue the day he opened his tool box in that house.

Venting to the loft - normal practice..? Definitely not in line with Building Regs. You need Part F.

Crikey not more meaningless Parts to qualify for

Westies experience just goes to show what the scams are all about, doesn't it? as long as you are prepared to pay the dues anyone can join, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that the reason this particular outfit got admission to the scam, was a scam in it's own right by the bathroom company. Get a decent Electrician to do a couple of jobs for them, use these jobs as inspection jobs, then get Kevin the kitchen guy and Bill the bathroom guy to do the rest after admission to said scam. They should be exposed, the scams I mean.

So 8 more people are Dumb now

Thank you, much appreciated.

That's exactly how our present bathroom is vented. I did wonder when we took possession of the property nine years ago whether that was normal practice ...

Nope, definitely not normal or approved practice. Just carried out by people who are too bone idle to do the job properly & want to pocket a few extra quid. Guaranteed they're charging for the vent and fitting it.

To be honest this country and the way it creates these grey compliance schemes which contradict 5 years at college in my opinion is exactly how Grenfell Tower had been clad in non fire retardant cladding.
We are electricians because we understand the theory and implication of what we do, you cannot read a building regulation book which tells you what span the joist you should cut and understand the implications of kitchen fitting and bathroom fitting.

I see so much crap at peoples houses.... guess what i don't see half the crap in commercial/industrial and i wonder why that is.

ABOLISH PART P you fascist piggs!!!!

I do get asked this from time to time. Can't see any one can see that venting to the loft would be okay, even Mrs Miggigins would know that's not right; would it be okay to vent into an adjoining bedroom

Part P is a building regulation? Why would want to banish that?

but a bit of humidity in the attic is necessary for the healthy growth of the weed.
