If you have electrical work that needs doing in your beaconsfield home, it may be best to choose a local electrician to carry the work out instead. In the UK it’s illegal to DIY certain electrical jobs that are notifiable work under Part P, this means the installation/work carried out needs a electrician installation certificate to be issued by the qualified electrician after completion.
Which electrical work is notifiable under Part P?
‘Notifiable work’ is work that is considered higher voltage or higher risk and requires you to report the work to building control, unless of course this is completed by an electrician who is able to certify the work. Notifiable work includes electrical work in ‘special locations’, these are areas which carry a higher risk of electrical shock or fault due to the elements such as water or conductive environments - for example, showers, wet rooms, saunas & hot tubs. High voltage work such as EV Charger Installations and lower voltage intricate jobs such as a fuse board upgrade are both also work which requires a qualified electrician to complete and sign off.
If you find yourself needing any of the above work to be carried out, it’s time to give your local electrician in Beaconsfield a call.
Benefits of choosing a local electrician to complete work in your Beaconsfield home
Opting for a professional installation over DIY is a better idea for many reasons. Not only is this a legality, it also can save you money in the long run. Without academic knowledge and experience, an installation can have one small error that then becomes either dangerous, or expensive - sometimes both. Electricians who carry accreditations such as registered competent person, NAPIT & NICEIC are electricians who have had to undergo rigorous testing and observation to become part of such schemes. Work carried out by a registered competent person means that you don’t need to be concerned with issues when selling your home, invalid home insurance and action being taken by building control for unregistered work.
We recently were called to a customer's home in Caledon Road in Beaconsfield as they had recently purchased a consumer unit in the hopes they could install this safely themselves. Unfortunately after a few safe and unwasted hours, the customer accepted this isn’t work he could safely or confidently complete himself. Thankfully they called us here at Paradigm Electrical Solutions Ltd to install a legal, safe and compliant consumer unit.
An investment into your home's electricity is an investment into your family's safety and well-being. Saving money on professional installation can be the difference between an installation being safe and long standing vs electric shock or fire and further costs down the line.
