Electricians in Milton Keynes |
 From 1 January 2005 all electrical work in dwellings in Milton Keynes will need to comply with Part P requirements and be carried out by Milton Keynes electricians who are competent to do the work. Some small jobs such as replacing a socket-outlet or a light switch on an existing circuit will not need to be notified to a building control body (although there are some exceptions for high risk areas such as kitchens and bathrooms). All work that involves adding a new circuit to a dwelling will need to be either notified to building control, building control then will inspect the work, or carried out, by a competent person who is registered with a Part P Self-Certification Scheme. To find out more on Part P regulations go to: http://www.partp.co.uk/ It is always best to use qualified electrical contractors when you need electrical installations in your home. You should ask the electrical contractor to show you proof of his qualifications. Many cowboy electricians exist and these people are dangerous. We have seen examples of badly installed electric cookers, fuse boxes and showers in Milton Keynes. Badly installed electrical wiring and electrical switches can be a fire hazard so always use a professional electrician. The following organisations are authorised to run competent persons self-certification schemes for registered electrical installers who can do all types of electrical installation work in dwellings: BRE Certification Ltd |
