Only on youtube and when you are being paid to advertise them!
BTW it is illegal to carry out rewiring work (even in your own home) without a 'Part P' electrical certificate and has been for a good few years.
It isn’t illegal at all Pondy, if it was you wouldn’t be able to buy lekky stuff without an electrician cert.
This was a silly rumour that got around a few years ago, it’s cobblers.

There are very limited electrical tasks that can be 'legally' carried out in the home by a DIYer. Re-wiring a room is not one of them.
Of course no-one is going to check unless you burn your house down or kill someone.
As for buying electrical stuff, that's fine. Installing it is a different matter.
You can buy a gas boiler from Screwfix (or anywhere) but you can't fit it without a Gas Safe certificate.

Yes you can. Wether its fitted correctly or will pass a gas service is a different matter but you can fit a boiler yourself if you want.
