special locations/part p self certification

[still learning.]

Hi I was wondering if the sockets/lights in say a kitchen are on the same circuit as the rest of the downstairs sockets/lights does it still come under a special location (need to be able to self certify or get the council in) or would it be minor works as it is the same circuit as the living room which would be minor works?

A kitchen isn't considered a special location.

It wouldn't be the type of circuit that would define if it is a minor works. It would be the work carried out.

ok for example replacing a single socket for a double one. would this be minor works? in a kitchen
