When undergoing a renovation, extension or even a simple upgrade on part of the electrical system, meeting statutory requirements is essential for safety, legal compliance and peace of mind.
All electrical installations in domestic and commercial properties must meet the standards set out in the BS 7671 Wiring Regulations (18th Edition). These regulations form the foundation of safe electrical design, installation, and maintenance. As fully qualified electricians, we work in line with these guidelines on every project to ensure installations are safe, functional, and long-lasting.
In addition, we are NICEIC-approved contractors, which means our work is regularly assessed for competence and compliance, giving customers full confidence in the quality and safety of our services.
Under Part P of the Building Regulations, certain types of electrical work carried out in homes and gardens must either be notified to the local authority or undertaken by a registered competent person. At KS Electrical Services, we are authorised to self-certify work under Part P, streamlining the compliance process and saving customers time and paperwork.
From installing new circuits and consumer units to rewiring and lighting upgrades, we make sure everything meets the legal standards required for domestic properties.
For commercial and industrial settings, we deliver services that align with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, ensuring that all systems are properly installed, maintained, and safe to operate. Our expertise at KS Electrical Services covers everything from emergency lighting and distribution boards to three-phase systems and compliance testing.
In addition, we provide documentation and certificates where required, helping business owners meet insurance conditions, health and safety obligations, and fire risk assessment requirements.
Regulatory compliance is not just about meeting legal requirements — it is about ensuring the long-term safety and performance of all electrical installations. Failing to adhere to these standards can lead to invalid insurance policies, enforcement action from local authorities, or increased risk of fire or injury.
