Advice for a bill/dispute

[Pete999]

It'd be good to hear from a Scottish member (who won't sound anything like a Scouser) about the Scottish requirements for a safety certificate.

How can you say that, he could be a Scottish Scouser, Jeez what a mix that would make.

Same sort of tongue as Scouse is it Tel

nah. there's quite a big difference between " stitch that, jimmy. och aye" and " You'll never walk again, soft lad.".

It's not required that Building control are notified but an installation certificate should still be issued.

Material costs can also be slightly higher here it's not unusual to find materials cheaper on the internet than I can get them from my wholesaler.

I've fallen foul of trying to install downlights once the PVC panelling has been installed it's a pain in the rear without a drawing or photographs. The more complex the timber work above the more of a pain in the rear it is.

At the end of the day it is arguable that the lad took his time to get it right and the finished job is to a high standard.

As for not getting a quote or estimate... lesson learned.

Just got an email from SELECT after chasing them up. They refuse to deal with me as it was my partner that phoned the electrician. The electrician knows fine well who I am.

He knows who I am well enough that the bill is addressed to ME!!!!!!



I spoke to Roper Rhodes about the lights on the drawer that have cost hours. They say they can be done in 15-20 minutes. They suggest at worst 1 hour.

No word about a certificate yet. I read this for the guidelines for Scotland.

Which one will new lights and the r.c.d come under?

if it's not a new circuit, then it's a minor works.

I know nothing about electrical work.

He's claiming he has completely rewired the lights and it goes back to the r.c.d at the fusebox. Isn't that a new circuit?

 

[ferg]

It's still classed as an alteration to an existing circuit.

Bear in mind that everyone has struggled with kit that has shoddy instructions that should take 'minutes' to assemble.

It should also be taken in to consideration that none of us saw the job only the attending electricians and yourself.

It is not possible to say how long a job should have taken without being there. We are only guessing.
