Part P Compliance Costs, What You Need to Budget For
Notifiable electrical work in England and Wales must comply with Part P of the Building Regulations. An electrician who is a member of a government-authorised Competent Person Scheme (such as NICEIC or NAPIT) can self-certify this work, meaning they notify the scheme, which then notifies the local authority on your behalf and issues a completion certificate. This service is typically included in the electrician's charge, but it is worth confirming this when reviewing quotes.
If you use an electrician who is not scheme-registered, you would need to apply for building control approval separately before work begins, an additional cost and administrative burden. The appropriate electrical certificate (an EIC or MEIWC) must be issued on completion of all notifiable work regardless of the route taken.
Ensure any quote you receive for notifiable electrical work in Blairgowrie and Rattray explicitly includes certification costs and confirms the electrician's scheme registration.
What Can Go Wrong and How to Protect Yourself as a Consumer
Raise your concerns in writing with the electrician first, giving them the opportunity to return and put things right. If they are scheme-registered (NICEIC, NAPIT, etc.), a formal complaint to the scheme body is a powerful next step, scheme bodies take workmanship complaints seriously and have the authority to require remediation. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 also entitles you to a repair, price reduction, or refund if services are not carried out with reasonable care and skill.
Be alert to electricians who cannot or will not provide evidence of scheme registration; who quote verbally only and resist putting anything in writing; who demand large cash payments before starting; who say they can do the work without an inspection or certification; or who significantly undercut all other quotes without explanation. An unregistered person carrying out notifiable electrical work is breaching the Building Regulations, an immediate and serious warning sign.
An electrician registered with a Competent Person Scheme is obliged to notify the scheme and issue an Electrical Installation Certificate within a set period of completing notifiable work. If they fail to do so, you can complain directly to the scheme body. If the electrician is not scheme-registered and the work has not been notified through building control, you may need to commission an EICR and potentially arrange retrospective notification, both at your own cost.
Yes. Under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, if you pay between £100 and £30,000 for services using a credit card and the contractor breaches the contract, for instance, by producing substandard work or disappearing without completing the job, your credit card provider is jointly liable and you can make a claim against them. Always pay by traceable means (card or bank transfer) rather than cash when hiring tradespeople.
If electrical work that was submitted through building control (rather than self-certified by a scheme-registered electrician) fails inspection, the local authority will issue a notice specifying what must be remedied. The electrician who carried out the work is responsible for making the necessary corrections. If they cannot or will not do so, you may need to engage another electrician to put things right, potentially at your own cost if the original contractor cannot be recovered from.
