Estimated costs
Building Regulations - Part P registered electricians
To reflect the Local Authorities costs, if relevant electrical work is carried out using a qualified Part P registered electrician the standard charges are significantly reduced.
A supplementary inspection or Building Notice charge will not apply when any notifiable electrical work is carried out using a Part P registered electrician or if the only electrical work carried out is non-notifiable (your electrician should be aware of the definition of non-notifiable work).
A Part P registered electrician is a qualified electrician who also has the necessary Building Regulations knowledge to enable his accreditation body to certify his work. If anyone other than a Part P registered electrician undertakes the electrical work the reduced charge is not applicable.
Building Regulations - getting help with fees and charges
The charges for Building Regulations work are required to cover the cost of the service with the exception of work that is carried out for the benefit of a disabled person which is therefore exempt for the charges.
If the charge for your Building Regulation work is not listed as a standard charge it will need to be individually determined.
If your work is defined as requiring an individual assessment of the charge, please contact Building Control by emailing buildingcontrol@peterborough.gov.uk or calling 01733 453422. It would be helpful if you could provide a detailed description of the proposed works.
