Still doesn't resolve the fact, that even in commercial & industrial fields, there are contractors who don't come up to a sufficient standard.

Some of their clients have a clerk of works ( or whatever the title is these days), that carry out inspections of verification of installations. But many don't.

The question I was answering wasn’t about solving anything, the question was regarding how do you work without being registered with a scheme.

The simple answer is that you can work in the non-domestic sector without scheme membership, and make more money doing so.

I could be incorrect but wasn't the initial thinking to have one scheme which the public could identify with like CORGI, now GasSafe. How on earth can electrical safety be correctly monitored with all these different schemes sniping at each other in an attempt to put THEIR head above the parapet.

Which is why I said you can work in the NON DOMESTIC sector without being registered with a scheme and earn more money doing so.

All these schemes have done is take the pressure off LBC who would not have been able to cope when Part P came into effect. They have pulled in electricians who work in the new and existing domestic housing markets and for some good those like kitchen fitters etc.

So a qualified experienced competent electrician who in his career has done domestic finishing off working in commercial so not needed to join a scheme retires let's call him Pete and wants to install a 10mm to replace the 6mm for his previous shower either get stung for the LBC fees or has to employ an electrician that belongs to one of these schemes.
