16th edition board

[lewlec]

Hi all

need some advise..... Wired my house(new build) back in jan 2006 after part p came in which at the time i was employed and done the install myself and the boss was going to certify it for me. Mean while i have started my own buisness (3 years now) and the cert was never done, the issue now is that i have just sold my house and no electrical cert. It has all been done to 16th edition with one db for lights,oven & immersion and onother db for the sockets and shower. Can i get away with issuing a 16th cert or will i have to upgrade the db with rcbos to comply with 17th?
Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Regards

You should be able to do out a PIR and leave the installation as is.

yes. the installation complied with current regs. when it was installed, so PIR it. job done

Hi sintra

what about part p notification? Im sure the building inspector will want a installation cert.

Don't have a clue about part p so i am not the man to answer that one.

If the house is sold why do you want any sort of certificate ?
If things are on going,a Pir would be sufficient

Who or where are these people who actually take notice of part p to want these things in the first place?
I have never met any official or body that takes the matter seriously other than electricians working under the banner of registartion
Just forget it was ever done, and go with the flow as 99.99% of the country does

Buck house does not comply with pir, so i guess its worth 10K then. Complete and utter labour luvvy ********, the gas board does both leccy and gas for 75 quid. jobs for the boys is going out the window hopefully

Hi

the problem we have is that the house is not signed off by building control yet and im sure he will want to see a installation cert and that it is notified under part p. I was thinking will a 16th cert be ok?

If contracts have been excahnge and house is sold .......way past any certificate stages.

If your house was built in 2006 surely you must have all the building and planning certificates, you surely never just built an house over a 6 month period and no one came from the planning office to ask why are you building this house.

I'm not a solicitor but can you actually sell a new build house now without the proper building certificates

Gary,

Who has said what? To make you feel you need to ask this?
