approved contractor top dogs????

Never heard that before

Ring up ask them, I needed to be NICEIC for local authority, they needed 2 completed jobs, I did think of joining One of the other schemes to register and would of been cheaper than the £200 consumer unit change and £390 rewire with LABC and then register with NICEIC it would of been more paperwork to save a few quid

That shouldn't happen any more...

but still does sadly.
local authorities in general are the last to embrace the latest industry practices and legislation.
most of them still want sinks earthed........ ;-)

Still think all sparks should have to produce your jib card before anyone gets registered

When looking into which one to join they only wanted one to look at, but never went with em anyway

Doesn't round these parts, as I do work for local council housing

There's a guy I know, a member of this site who wouldn't get anything above labourer off the JIB but I know for a fact he'd leave a lot of people standing scratching their nuts.

They wanted 2 jobs to look at when I joined

I have to disagree to my knowledge the NiCEIC are the only scheme that come and inspect 2 completed jobs, the other schemes let you inform LABC and then sign them of when you pass your assessment that make it easier for people to join, just my opinion

What don't you agree with??

Getting registered as an ''Approved Contractor'' was at one time a big deal, and quite a lengthy process, ....it's not now!! A case in point is highlighted above, you would NEVER hear or see of a one man band at the age of 21 ever being registered as an approved contractor!! Just by definition, it would be highly unlikely that he could ever meet, what was then the full criteria to gain that status!!
