Do I need Building Regulations Approval to alter the existing electrics or install new electrics?
A. Yes, probably if the works are within a dwelling but will depend on what you are doing and where in the dwelling you are carrying out the works. However, If you electrician is Part P registered to a Competent Persons Scheme you will not be required to submit an application to the Authority. Under the Competent Persons Scheme the Local Authority will be informed directly by the Competent Persons body of any work that has been carried out under the scheme.
