What electrical work am I allowed to do as an unqualified homeowner?

[Taylortwocities]

Part P applies to all electrical work.
In order to comply with Part P, reasonable provision shall be made in the design and installation of electrical installations in order to protect persons operating, maintaining or altering from fire or injury.

Indeed, and that is all that the text of the STATUTORY INSTRUMENT (P1) says.

The APPROVED DOCUMENT (commonly referred to as Building Regulations, Part P) lays out ways in which the STATUTORY INSTRUMENT can be complied with.

The only real reason for any electrician to be in a scheme, is it's financially more viable to carry out numerous amounts 'notifiable' work, than paying one off fees to a LBC.

Me thinks, you thinking of being a domestic electrician without joining a scheme

Possibly, but the point is you are only accountable if something goes wrong and you have put your name to it.I have come across dodgy practice endless times and the daft thing is, if they haven't certified it, how are they accountable. When I asked "who did this"the answer was not got a clue some sparky or,, it had always been like that.
My conscience is my guide.

But being a member of a scheme, doesn't make you more accountable, I wish it did, but it doesn't (I'm a member of a scheme).

Most of the dodgy work I've come across, has been DIY attempts at electrical work, but I have seen some right bodges, allegedly done by electricians. I like to believe that I do my work in a professional way, using good workmanship, correct tools and materials. The end result tested & inspected before and after energising it.

However, the only one who checks and verifies my work, is me.
