    Do you have to become Part P registered to certify work?

    C,mon every trade has their rouge tradesmen who have no pride in their work or respect for their customer and have a "that will do attitude" Sorry you seem to have found so many but its certainly not how my company or subcontractors conduct themselves.

    Do you have to become Part P registered to certify work?

    TBF you do not know who is looking at the certs and it could be a trained spark with a lifetime of electrical knowledge? I have been informed they do have some working for the LBC LBC will certainly inspect or check the first few jobs or appoint someone else to check my work which I strongly...

    Do you have to become Part P registered to certify work?

    I did not write the regs but thats what they require. I agree qualifications do not make you competent but I do now have a reference from a registered spark for some of the work I have done that he has checked and signed off on and willing to vouch the work I do and have done coincides with all...

    Plasterers it’s your job!!

    Had exactly the same this week. 8 sockets in a kitchen and every single one plastered over and took me ages to dig it all out. So next time I chase and run cables I'm going to leave them live so every time the plasterer goes near it he gets a shock. Might keep him away from the socket :-)

    I've been validated by Norfolk County Council on their Trusted Trader scheme which is regulated by Trading standards and references left on Referenceline. Is it worth it?

    Do you have to become Part P registered to certify work?

    I worked in the offshore industry for over 20 years and everything is RA, TBT, you can't fart without someone signing it off. I ran a team of 30 guys and they would be pressure testing at 4000bar running gear off 100kVA generators. Every morning would be a TBT go through what was happening and...

    Do you have to become Part P registered to certify work?

    Thanks did not think of Stroma. The problem is my mate would do the work but chasing one cable for a cooker when it takes 1/2 an hour to do holds up the tiler who is waiting for the plasterer to finish, who is waiting for a sparkie to turn up and chase and wire one circuit. When you have...
