About Our Residential Electrician Service in Stradbroke
Domestic work sits under Part P of the Building Regulations, and the list of work that has to be notified is shorter than most people expect. In England and Wales it is:
- a new circuit
- a new or replacement consumer unit (fuse box)
- any addition or alteration inside a room containing a bath or shower, a room with a sauna heater, or around a swimming pool
Adding a socket outlet to an existing bedroom circuit, swapping a light switch or replacing an accessory is not notifiable. It still has to comply with BS 7671.
Notifiable work has two lawful routes. Tell building control in advance and pay for their inspection, or use an electrician registered with a government-authorised competent person scheme, who certifies the work and notifies afterwards. Norspark is NAPIT registered, which is one of those schemes.
Typical jobs: consumer unit changes, full and partial rewires, kitchen and bathroom circuits, cooker and shower supplies, outside lights, extractor fans, smoke and heat alarms, fault-finding. Consumer units in homes now have to be non-combustible, and socket outlets rated up to 32 A need 30 mA RCD protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does every job in my house have to be notified to building control?
No. Since the 2013 revision of Approved Document P the notifiable list is short: a new circuit, a new or replacement consumer unit, and alterations or additions inside a room containing a bath or shower, a room with a sauna heater, or around a swimming pool. Extra sockets on an existing circuit elsewhere, replacement accessories and most repairs are not notifiable. All of it still has to meet BS 7671.
My house is only 25 years old. Does it need anything doing?
Age is not the test, condition is. A 1990s board with no RCD protection on the socket circuits is a real finding on an inspection report, and plenty of that vintage is still in service. Electrical Safety First recommends an EICR at least every ten years in an owner-occupied home, and sooner if you are buying, selling or extending.
Do I need AFDDs fitted when the consumer unit is changed?
Probably not. BS 7671 requires arc fault detection devices on socket circuits only in higher risk residential buildings over 18 m or six storeys, HMOs, purpose-built student accommodation and care homes. In an ordinary house they are recommended, not required, whatever you have been told. Surge protection is the other way round: BS 7671 expects an SPD in a single dwelling unless the installation does not justify one.
Will you make good the walls after chasing?
Get making good written on the quote one way or the other. Ask when you book, and expect a rewire to be dirty work either way. Floorboards come up, walls get chased, and plastering normally sits between first fix and second fix.
