I'm particularly careful with electricians these days. I've rewired
two houses in the past, getting my work passed by the tester who had
to connect the tails to the meter, but am now "incapable" of doing
anything serious because of "Part P" regulations. When I had a new
kitchen fitted at home I got a "Part P" qualified fitter do the
electrical work. Subsequently, having identified problems (which I
couldn't correct as I'm not Part P qualified), I got another
electrician to put the botch job right (and got the first electrician
to pay).

That's not correct.

You can do 'Part P' notifiable works, you just need to put in a building
regs application for them.

For which you will be charged on the order of 250 pounds. Per job.

True, but if you are doing a big enough job, then cost wise it's still
worth it. And you don't have to then employ an electrician to not do the
job properly .
