Part P Scheme

Part P of the Building Regulations was introduced in 2005 and for the first time, established a minimum safety standard for electrical installations in dwellings. As a result, electrical work became notifiable to local authorities and to make this process easier, self certification schemes such as ELECSA were created.

To date, there are more than 25,000 contractors registered with a Part P scheme and they notify over 1 million jobs per year.

ELECSA is one of the fastest growing Part P schemes as it offers a straightforward, friendly approach to its assessment services.

Application & Assessment

Apply to ELECSA via the easy online application form or alternatively, call us on 0333 321 8220 and apply over the phone.

Once we receive your application you will be provided an assessment date that will typically take place about 6 weeks from application. We will send you a pre-assessment pack with checklists of all the items you will need to have ready on the day.

We understand that the assessment is the most stressful part for you in becoming a Part P registered contractor and therefore have prepared useful advice for anyone preparing for a Part P assessment.

We also have a Guide to Part P that explains the assessment process in more detail.
