Keith if you are a member of one of the scheme's such as Napit / NICEIC / Elecsa etc for domestic work, the scheme will notify the LABC on your behalf. But only for work that falls under Part P of the Building Regulations. Where it is notifiable.

Being a member of a scheme tends to be an easier and cheaper route if you do a lot of domestic work as the LABC will charge for every job you register with them under Part P.

Here is more info on Part P:

And a link to a Napit Guide to Part P with jobs that are notifiable

http://www.voltimum.co.uk/news/4016/s/NAPIT-Easy-Guide-to-PART-P.html

You would still give the customer a certificate for the work (i.e. Minor works or Electrical Installation Certificate) and log the job with your chosen scheme.

The scheme will then notify the local LABC for the area so no need for you to do it. The LABC then send to the customer's address additional confirmation that the electrical work undertaken by you complies with Part P of the building Regulations.

Obviously when you join a scheme they will be out to vet you, your qualifications, insurances etc, etc to meet with their criteria. Oh and charge you silly money for the privilege.


Some Scheme's

NAPIT - NAPIT - Home

NICEIC - Welcome to NICEIC, the home of electrical contracting excellence — NICEIC Group

Elecsa - Welcome to ELECSA


Hope this helps.
