ECP 51 sets out the rules for homeowners who want to do their own electrical work. Download here.
Homeowners are allowed to replace like for like (such as swapping power points and switches). They are also allowed to run cables, but they are not allowed behind the switchboard and their work must be tested (earth continuity, polarity, earth loop, insulation resistance, etc) and certified by an electrician.
