How do we deliver it?

A resident liaison officer visits before the survey, explains the programme and stays in touch until handover. Most complaints on kitchen programmes come from poor communication, not poor workmanship.

Which rules apply in Ipswich?

In England, new circuits, consumer unit replacements and alterations in bathrooms near baths and showers are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. Notification is made by a competent person scheme installer or through building control.
