A new self-build project

Your property needs electricity, plumbing, ventilation and heating. Good installation and maintenance keeps everything working properly. For your electrical installations, the work must meet Part P Building Regulations. Making sure all your on-stie teams can work together will save you time and money. 

 

For safety, some parts of your electrical installation are ‘notifiable’ under the Regulations. These must be approved by your local building control authority. The best solution is to use professional electricians for your installations. 

 

Electrical installations covered by Part P include: 

 

As the property owner, you’ll want to avoid damage and make sure it’s safe for your family and anyone visiting. An EIC confirms the necessary electrical inspections have been carried out and you have a proper electrical installation. 

 

For existing electrics, a detailed inspection will identify overloaded circuits and repairs that might be needed. This helps prevent long-term damage to your property. It can also identify opportunities to save some money on your electricity bills. 

 

Some insurers might ask to see your electrical inspection certificate if you need to make a claim. An EIC is also a useful way to show you have maintained your property if you ever decide to sell.
