Understanding Part P

Professional safety standards for your home.

What is Part P?

Part P is a specific section of the UK Building Regulations that ensures all electrical work in a home is designed and installed to protect residents from fire or electric shocks. It is a legal requirement that most electrical work is carried out by a certified professional.

Why is this important for you?

Choosing a Part P compliant electrician like Slade Electrical Services isn't just about safety—it's about protecting your investment and staying legal.

  • Legal Compliance: When you sell your home, solicitors will require Part P certificates for any work carried out since 2005.
  • Insurance Validity: Most home insurance policies require work to be certified by a registered electrician to remain valid.
  • Peace of Mind: Our work is independently assessed by NAPIT to ensure it meets the latest 18th Edition standards.

→
3. Official Compliance Certificate Arrives
