 It is now law! From 1st January 2005 new Building Regulations Part P require all electrical work involving rewires, the addition of new circuits, electrics in kitchens, bathrooms, outside lighting/power and low voltage lighting installations to be notified to local authority building control. It is a criminal offence not to notify electrical installation work with fines of up to £5000 plus £50 per day if your new work is not installed, tested and inspected to BS7671 and not notified to Building Control.

Powerhouse have many years of experience with residential projects and is registered on the Governments Domestic Installer Scheme. We are authorised to carry out domestic jobs without the need to apply for Building Regulations permission giving a considerable cost saving to the house owner and guarantees a safe installation fully complying with the regulations.

All our residential customers now benefit from the free NICEIC backed 'peace of mind' warranty scheme. This gives our customers a free six year insurance warranty against the unlikely event that our installation work fails to meet the requirements of the Building Regulations. Full terms and conditions are available on request.
