Just a show of hands!!

how many of you plumbers who are Part P defined scope have under taken electrical work beyond the scope your allowed!!

not a witch hunt just curious!!

We are fully approved contractors not part p so we can do pretty much what we like but we also do a fair bit of commercial anyway

 

[durhamsparky]

aimed mearly at the self employed plumber who needed the part p registration for bathrooms kitchen etc..!! and obviously not wanting to folk out full scope fees they opt for defined scope!


thanks for reply!

I have rewired a flat on my defined scope ticket.

i always just get the sparky in, he even told me its not worth bothering with. hes a good sparky and knows his stuff so i just keep using him. simples, probably works out cheaper to.

were's the

'undertakes work within the scope of allowed works' button

I feel Poll worded a bit one sided

The only thing I can not do (in therory)is install a ground floor ring main and new consumer unit,why ,I do not know but seeing how I have no need or desire to do so,it does not bother me

Oh and I can not do electrical certs.why.again, no one knows, as I have to be capable of doing the same tests,pity we did not make the same loop hole on the gas side,would have made things a lot safer


imho

Part P is only for foreign countries as far as we are concerned up here, so i dont bother with it

 

[pauls]

anything to big for me i get my sparky friend in

 

[PlumbBobBob]

i got part p defined as part of my plumbing course but to be honest i don't use it as i would have to be registered with one of the schemes and buy expensive test gear which i cannot really afford in the current climate.

I should said I then, I am self employed and I am the representative for all relevant registrations although I do employ only 4 I still class myself as self employed

No body pays my wages etc

i changed the fuse on my playstation 3 and im fully part p, is that ok?

 

[oldplumber]

i rewire s and y plans that the sparkies dont always get right, and Im not part p but I do know how to wire up central heating systems, seems daft we arent supposed to and leave it to those who should know how to do it. Dontge me wrong there are sparkies who know there stuff, but quite a few only seem to be able to drop in ring mains in new builds from what ive seen.

 

[dontknowitall]

I'm Part P defined scope and forgot most of what I learned within a month. I'm scared sideways of electricity but do a few small jobs when I'm totally comfortable. Any more then it's a phone call to and a job for my sparky.

yeh i do s and y as sparlys often ask for my advice!
