Work for myself Bondy, part what? I'm sixteenth edition so dont need it. Part P is really for the plumbers/kitchen & bathroom fitters and anybody that refurbs or Sparkys without the qualifications. Its a step in the right direction if you ask me, ive seen some horrific installations in the past and Part P should weed out the men from the boys. Every House in the country will have to have an "MOT" cert when they sell eventually.

I agree with you on that, it stops alot of the cowboys. They are even clamping down on people doing there own plumbing.

part p is the new building reg that came into force jan 2005. it affects all domestic installers. there are a few exceptions though. i read in proffesional electrician that they have just prosecuted 2 people for not complying. are you registered with the niceic or elecsa, etc.

[crazyscoot]

I havent heard that one? Hicubes gonna be in for bashing as well next year, when building reg's tell us we have to have argon filled windows! or triple glassing, they haven't decided yet.

[bondy]

i have been wiring extensions for years. i went on a short course with the nic last year. its amazing what you take for granted. i learnt loads in 2 weeks. hat off to time served electricians. my brain was fused.

[bondy]

thats doc L. or (part L). its been in for a few years too. they are really tightening up on that to do with global warming. i have just finished building a house for a freind, i am quite up on the regs now.

that wont be happening that soon mate as they cant get the equipmant made in time they had it back in the 80's but it was crap then and will be this time round fensa already con us out of £££ with all the registering jobs there absolute c**p we register jobs and they never get processed or we get job's from manchester and newcastle added to our account and then they tell us we registered them dont think so somehow we would know if we travelled 200+ miles to do 2x doors all just a big money making scam by the goverment at the end of the day fensa was set up to get rid off cowboy window installers it hasnt worked at all as they just dont register with fensa a to top it all fensa is meant to be a charity


and theres no point in argon filling units or triple glazing as the compulsory 'k' class does the job of quad glazing just going to need a 7.5t truck to go and glaze a house of windows

[crazyscoot]

and the other reason is to cut down the amount of cash going in the back pocket

[bondy]

wether its corgi, fensa or part p. it is another way for tony blair to see what work you are doing. each job you do has to be registered through a body which has been licenced by the goverment. maybe its me being too cynical.

[stevo]
