Protect You and Your Family - Keep Part P (Building Regulations)

Additional Information

Sub-standard electrical installation work kills.

Part P of the Building Regulations protect consumers having electrical installation work in their homes from poor workmanship. For more information on Part P see http://www.esc.org.uk/public/guides-and-advice/building-regulations/

Since Part P was introduced there has been
- a 17.5% reduction in domestic fires attributable to mains wiring faults

- nearly 20,000 more electrician electrical contractors are having their competence assessed and samples of their work checked regularly

- a reduction in the number of unregulated persons undertaking electrical work

In addition it is easier for householders to identify competent electrical installers!

Please sign this petition to keep this important piece of regulation and keep the cowboy electricians out of your homes!
