You can't enter a Limitation on a Minor Works.
Discuss Can you ‘N/A’ most of a Minor Works for a like for like replacement? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Your replies are what keep me coming back to this site @westward10Well it is applicable you just didn't verify it.
I would 100% have insisted on this in writing. I may even have added that if you decide you want want certificates then there will be an extra cost. I write so bloody much now in my quote! It does make things so much easier on the rare occasion there is a dispute about what work is actually to be carried out.Seeking advice, we have been replacing extractor fans for a local council and was originally told no ‘like for like’ replacement works needs a minor works certificate.
Came into the office today to find they now want minor works certificates for about 250 fans we replaced.
Now normally if you was just doing a like for like swap no one would start checking the water/oil bonding, and recording circuit details or even looking to see what system of earth the property has, therefore my question is “since these items havnt been inspected would i be complying by simply marking most of the certificate as N/A?”
There’s simply no way we’re going to re visit 250 propertys some up to 45 miles away just to tick a box on a form that technically doesn't even need issuing for a double insulated fan swap over. i don’t want to get into a debate if it’s ethically right or wrong i just want to make sure im complying.
How iv always interpreted it was you may “n/a” something not inspected and my reasoning for not inspecting bonding would be because a replacement doesn’t require you to, therefore it must be okay to record bonding on a minor works as n/a. Do people agree?
If this is a genuine change then throw it back at them, a nicely worded email explaining the additional testing requirements and paperwork charge of £--- per unit might focus their minds a little.Seeking advice, we have been replacing extractor fans for a local council and was originally told no ‘like for like’ replacement works needs a minor works certificate.
