apelike Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 "In your own home" is not a valid argument as its a "domestic installation." The IEE regulations are not statutory in either case and there is no legal requirement to adhere to them in domestic installations. The only time a qualified electrician is needed is when it is in a commercial property and that is mainly for insurance purposes. As said, its fine for a competent person to do it.

But if it's notifiable work, it will be a cheaper option to use an electrician. Not many DIYers have the required test equipment either. OP - Swapping an existing electric cooker for a new one where the only work required is connecting up to an existing cooker connection unit isn't notifiable.
