Then finally applied for a body to inspect 2 pieces work or....after 6 months apply to a self cert person scheme. I am getting myself confused now.

I think I have Cracked it, well almost! I have done shed loads of testing in the post, so I feel competent. So I would be OK To issue out Minor Works Cert's to the Customer is right. ie if its change of this that, and working on the original circuit. What about putting in say Showers (own Circuit) do them not constitue as a minor cert. and everything after that really should be Sent off to someone is that right. And if not the governing body(self person scheme) then the buildings place - and is it one at a time of a whole load of big jobs at the end of the month. What about Rewrires, would that again have to be sent off. Is it possible just to do all the testing and leave the completed forms with customer (unless her mortgage company required it).
And I after July To this Work I really should be 17th though

Ignore above. I was getting confused. Is it, for example, if I am with no body, I can still do say Rewires, or jobs installing more than 1 extra circuit, but will need to arrange for the LABC to come out and inspect it. Which I suppose would be OK if yer being paid 3500 and just had to shell out say 100 for kabc. What about minor certs. Do you give these to the Customer, Or Do you have to give one to the customer and send the rest in to the LABC
ok, you may be getting confused (and you are not the only one) into thinking that if something only needs a minor works cert (ie alteration/ addition to an existing circuit) then it is somehow 'outside Part P'

Work in a kitchen foe example could be monir works but still be notifiable to the LABC

notifiable and non-notifiable work do not go hand in hand with minor works and electrical installation certs.

Each job is treated as seperate entitiy

If you are doing notifiable work (even if you are going to issue a minor works cert) then you must pre-notify to he LABC at least 2 working days before commencement of job (except in an emergency)

you must then send them a copy of you completed certs (think its within 30 days)
