Lockdown Scotland New law? Essential electrical work only in private dwellings....

Former Community Member over 4 years ago

Scotland’s first minister announced today that:

“Fifth, we will strengthen the provisions in relation to work inside people’s houses.

We have already issued guidance to the effect that in level 4 areas work is only permitted within a private dwelling if it is essential for the upkeep, maintenance and functioning of the household. We will now put this guidance into law.”

Any ideas what constitutes essential electrical works to avoid breaking the law unintentionally?

Thanks for the replies.

It seems the general consensus is the only allowed works so far is conducting an EICR, replacing bulbs where it is the only light source in a room, remediating any code given in an EICR, and extra sockets that supply medical equipment or stairlifts,

Does any one know if an “official” definition is available anywhere?
