Competent persons registration scheme

A competent persons scheme member is able to certify their own work for compliance with building regulations instead of needing to submit an application to us. General advice, guidance and information is provided by LABC.

We must register works notified to us by those competent persons such as:

Cavity fill installation
Drainage or installation of new septic tank
Electrical work in and around the home
Flue or flue lining, fireplace or chimney replacements
Gas installation
Hot water storage system (vented and unvented)
Micro-power generation (e.g. solar energy)
Oil tanks
Re–roofing work
Solid fuel installation (e.g. wood burners)
Window and door replacements

We do not hold any paperwork in relation to these works and therefore can't issue copies.

You can find out more and check if an installer is registered.

Initial notices

An initial notice application is a record of works carried out by an approved inspector.

We do not hold any paperwork in relation to these works and therefore can't issue copies. Please contact the approved inspector for copies and further details.
