Signing off others work

[Luke105]

Evening all.

Is there a stigma of signing off someone else’s work?
If you came out and tested and all was ok…are you happy to sign off?

Anyone who strictly would not entertain this?

I don’t have the test and inspect certs so am unable to do this but don’t want to run into a problem once I’m ready for sign off.

Just like peoples opinions.

Thanks

no,you will be liable for it .but do a EICR before hand and everything fine then it your call.

Sorry. Before what?

I’ll just explain the situation.

We need to do a rewire in a house we are buying. We aren’t able to pay for a rewire as the costs are just too high.

I would like to do the rewire. I’m able to leave plaster off, ceilings down so wires can be seen.

If I was to do this and get an EICR would this be ok?

Feel like I’m stuck in the mud.

the only way is to employ a spark to work with you ..and cut cost down ,he will test it and part peee.it

regarding a EICR is for some body to test it after the work is done
its like a engine taken out of a car before the mot is done.

I think I need to do some investigating on the notification before things start.

I’ve done part p and 18th edition wiring regs but haven’t done my testing so those 2 quals I do have seem pretty useless.

Let me put a scenario to you…..If I was to rewire everything socket and switch wise….feed everything into a board so it works.

Could I not get an electrician round to simply install a new board?

That way it’s in essence just a board change and they should be happy I sign it off once new board is fitted.

Maybe ask someone you know or work with, who would do this for you. Not many sparks you dont know would do this.

are you covered insurance wise for this.maybe some one here could help you do all the graft and they sit in a armchair watching you.

Only you would do that buzz.. I dont know any who would give up their time for him to save cash, again unless they know him

speak to the local building control
if you notify them before the work starts and submit the correct certificates they should allow it, there is often a charge for the service.
