Legislation
Since 2005, all domestic electrical work must comply with part ‘P’ of Building Regulations. Part ‘P’ refers to legislation that ensures domestic electrics meet with current health and safety requirements. In order to comply, a professional must install or test all electrical work. It is likely that old installations are inadequate to deal with the demand for electrical devices in your home. This does not legally enforce you to update your existing wiring. However, If you are adding to existing installations or making significant alterations, it is essential that you consult an electrician.
Overall, the best advice is to have a qualified electrician carry out an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) to assess whether your property needs re-wiring.
