Certification and landlord checks
In England, many electrical jobs in homes must meet Building Regulations. Electricians registered with a government-authorised competent person scheme can self-certify that work, so you don't need to involve building control separately.
Landlords in England must have the electrics in rented homes inspected and tested at least every 5 years by a qualified person, and give tenants proof of the check.

Electricians: common questions
What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report. An electrician inspects and tests the fixed wiring, sockets, lights and consumer unit, and records anything that's unsafe or needs attention.
Can I do my own electrical work?
Don't work on mains electrics unless you're qualified. Beyond the risk of shock and fire, some work must be certified to meet Building Regulations.
