I was working for them for over a year via a kitchen fitter. The prices are ok but they charge double to the customer, all prices are set ie £47 a socket etc £95 a RCD little board. The cert side was all done online with napit which is very easy but I am with napit so was used to it. You WILL have loads of problems the guys who spec and inspect the kitchens to say what is needed etc are a waste of space. Always parts missing etc, also if there is a problem even something like a free standing fridge hasn't turned up you don't get paid. They think it's a privilege to work for them as such are a bunch of idiots. Pm me and I will send you my phone number if you want any info.

It don't matter if your not napit member as the kitchen fitter or whomever is running the job is. They can't do the Certs, it's just there log on you use. You login with there id, fill in the Certs that have already been put on the system, sign them with your details and put your reg number for whomever company your certified with. It's similar to using easycert etc.

if they cant even fill out a cert, how the hell have they managed to become members of NAPIT?
They're not napit electrical regd. Napit have an oversight role for b and q. All the bathroom fits have to be napit approved. Don't ask me what they approve other than the elecs but the work schedule includes fitting of washing facilities etc which must have to comply with something or other. Lol. Napit inspectors occasionally call at bodge it and quit bathroom fits, not unheralded mind you, in that capacity.
I hate B&Q with all their self service tills it really gets on my wick
So NAPIT bypass all the rules and will register Part P work by people that are not even assessed to be competent to do the works.
But at leaast the QS was responsible (using that word loosely) for the works carried out and could at least what was happening. This is just makes a complete farce of it all if B&Q can do it without any type of assessment for anyone.the nic have been doing it for 20 years under their Qualified supervisor set-up.
