your right yes. But turn it the otherway around. I go to move power for a boiler, does that mean i am within my rights to change the plumbing of the pipes? I didnt go to college for four years to just do what a part p qualified plumber can do in a week. Just as i wouldnt try and mess with gas.

Believe me Baz....I understand where you are coming from.
For a long time its been a problem with boilers, which is (partly) why part P was introduced.
IE....corgi lad can plumb it in....but how can he commission it (and be responsible) when the sparkie wires it up?
Personally i think Part P is good in that respect, no offence, but plumbers know what is needed in respect of electrical supplies to their plant....and as long as the lead designer knows what's what (me) I will make sure the plumbers and electricians talk to each other to make sure you satisfy each others needs.
I shouldn't worry too much about plumbers invading your work....it's probably going to get worse not better in that respect 
part p only allows us to wire up to an existing fuse spur, the installation of a/the fuse spur is an electricians job. im gas qualified but wouldnt dream of touchin somethin i dont know about. the same thing applies to fitting electric showers, i get asked to do alot but people expect me to wire em up too! i know the regs vary as to the kw rating of the appliance and different thickness cable may be rquired etc. it aint worth goin to jail or havin someones death on your conscience. mav, gimme a gas fire anyday! hope everythins ok now
