Discuss New build 2nd fix after original contractor gone AWOL in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

What bothers me is what happens when I'm testing, and turns out IR is ****ed since cable pinched or screwed through as 1st fix was pony.....
It's gonna be daywork I think...
you know the nic do not do third party , so it down to the builder to sort that out .not you .
good luck if it was me I would walk away .just remember your insurance has well .

That's strictly not true. The BC may accept their qualifications and allow them to notify directly ...
In that case, there will be a paper trail of who done the work.
You'll all hellbent on thinking the worst have you ever thought that the original electrician may have had to stop working for health reasons for example. This can't have been the first time that this has happened. You know who the contractor was he may well be able to sign off an electrical installation certificate for the first fix. Before you take on this contract this is something that you need to address with the builder regarding issues outside your contracted role. The NICEIC and LBC should be helping you to do the right thing this may well be that this is now through LBC and the extra cost taken out of the previous electrician's retention monies.
 
Yeah, we aren't talking 3rd party here, even if nic did operate such a scheme, i'd only sign off if i'd witnessed 1st fix before boarding.
Eicr route effectively means bco taking responsibility for first fix as I see it. Question is; will they? Find out tomorrow I guess...
