never seen b&q selling gas boilers
No, perhaps not, but you do see Screwupfix selling them, and many small trade outlets too - the justification being that of course you'll get your local gas safe man to fit it.
.
Interestingly, i was in screwfix today and was held up for ages as the guys in front of me couldn't prove that they were qualified gas safe or the company they were subcontracting for were registered. Obviously in the trade as they had a van outside with name on, but credit to them as they refused to sell the parts without some written proof. Must admit i was surprised as i thought they were going to say something like 'well bring your card in next time'. So, times they are a changin'
Is it just me or does anyone else think the only people who know about part p are us sparks ? Getting really bored of explaining it to clients who have never heard of it !! There was a B&Q ad a while back of a fella switching on his brand new cooker hood, " you can do it " well technically he shouldn't be doing it should he if he'd heard of part p.

bloody expensive sticker!
and what would they deem as qualified? I am C+G 2360 (2 nights a week for 3 years) and 17th edition update qualified, but as i have not passed an AM2 or an NVQ3 aswell, the JIB will only give me an Adult Trainee card when i do my CSCS.
Your given your sticker? nic want paying extra for their stickers! lolThats why we are asked for 500 quid every year and given a sticker to put on the van.............
Thats the whole problem with the ridiculous set up mate - These protection rackets, and thats what the NICEIC, ELECSA, KGB etc etc really are; should be out there educating the public as to the importance of schemes like part pee. They should be fighting tooth and nail to prevent any Tom, Dick and Abdul from becoming registered as well, but will they? All they want to do is to take our money. I'm glad that I tend to stick to commercial. Stick welcome aboard anyway.Couldn't disagree more. Not all householders have no idea of wiring. Take myself. I've joined this forum to see what I have to do to be able to re-wire a house I'm renovating. Now I'm a Chief Engineer on a high voltage DSV. 19Mw eight generator 6.6KVA. I service HV electrical equipment, run 3Ph, trouble shoot variable frequency drives and deal with highly complex PLC CAN-bus control systems. And I can't put a socket into my own shed. I probably know more about electrical theory than most but cannot legally do even simple tasks. I do agree that there are some numb nuts out there who struggle to wire a plug, but surely "Competence," should be the deciding factor. I can do an electrical course that takes a few weeks and get part P but instead did 4 years plus ten years experience and three college stints to get fully qualified but I'm deemed to be unable to do a simple task in my own home. Would it not be better to have a system that assesses your knowledge based on your previous experience? I appreciate that electricians need work but alienating householders is not it. Most people don't know that they can't do very much and if they did along with potential fines then there could easily be a general public backlash. Imagine going to a house to do a job that a householder deems to be simple but has to call in an electrician at high cost because Big Brother says so? Electricians would end up in the same category as bankers, solicitors and tax inspectors.
