Hi, Yes these works would class as 'an addition to an existing circuit' which requires part p notification. Without this, you building insurance would be void if an electrical fault was to develop and the contractor you are using is not listed on the competent persons scheme. The saying buy cheap buy twice applies, accept with the additional risk to life and property. Don't take the chance over a few quid. Registered electricians are assessed every year, up to date with current regulations, and are governed by an overseeing body such as NICEIC. Because of this our costs are higher than those who are not registered. Thus these costs are passed on to the customer.
