    Can a homeowner ever get an electrician to work on their home who is a qualified electrician but not a REC?

    Minor works only

    What are minor works? Is there a list anywhere of what minor works are?

    Without a list of things that are minor works a home owner (who is not well versed in things electrical) has no way of knowing when a non-reci electrician is sufficient.

    Examples of Minor Electrical Works include the
    following:
    ï‚· Replacement of an electrical accessory such as light switch;
    ï‚· Replacement or relocation of light fitting where the existing circuit is
    retained; and
    ï‚· Provision of an additional socket to an existing radial circuit\0

    Minor
    Electrical Works can be completed by either a REC or by a suitably trained person or
    competent person, and do not legally require the issuance of Certificate. \0

    The above is from CER/13/147\0 document, wonder who is deemed a competent person if something goes wrong?
