From January 2005 most aspects of domestic electrical installation work came under Building Regulations control.

 You do not need to tell your local authority's Building Control Department about:

bulletrepairs, replacements and maintenance work; or
bulletextra power points or lighting points or other alterations to existing circuits (except in a kitchen or bathroom, or outdoors).

You need to tell them about most other work.

If you are not sure about this, or you have any questions, ask your local authority's Building Control Department.

 Why should I use an installer who is registered with a competent person scheme?

bulletMembers of schemes can deal with all the new rules for you.
bulletMembers are qualified to carry out electrical work.
bulletMembers will give you a certificate to confirm their work follows the new rules.
bulletYou will not have to pay Building Control charges.
bulletYou will have the option of taking out an insurance-backed guarantee for the work.
bulletYou will have access to a formal complaints procedure if you are not happy with the work.
