⚠️ Is Your Property Compliant? Why Southern Network Takes Electrical Safety Seriously

Electrical compliance is more than just a box to tick—it’s the bedrock of safety and efficiency for your home or small business in the Southern Network area.

With UK standards like BS 7671 and Part P getting more complex, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s where Southern Network steps in: to simplify these crucial requirements.

What Does "Compliance" Really Mean?

Compliance means your electrical system strictly follows UK safety rules designed to protect people and property from electrical fires, shocks, and hazards. It's an ongoing process, not a one-time fix!

🔑 Key UK Safety Rules You Need to Know:

  • BS 7671 (Wiring Regulations): The national standard for how all electrical installations must be done.

  • Part P (Building Regulations): Requires most home electrical work to be done by a competent person and officially certified.

  • EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report): The essential health check for your wiring. Mandatory for landlords!

🚨 Why Compliance is Crucial for You
