Advice needed - problem electrician

He said the certificate was being reviewed by the other guy for 'human error'

to be honest I do not think he is register reading between the lines.

good point. if he's purporting to be when he's not, then maybe niceic could get off their fat arses and respond.

Tried this recently they wanted photographic proof like their logo on a van, said this wasn't possible and they left it at that no further investigation.

Although i wholeheartedly agree,with the sympathies expressed,it only strengthens my original belief,that relying on people guaranteed by an organisation,that is paid by said people,is flawed.....and the same is true,for checkatrader

The painful truth is,that without any written schedule/contract or agreement,most of what has been described and shown,could easily be argued away,and the liability shifted.

If as described,your situation is worthy of sympathy,but aesthetics aside,i would be more concerned regarding other,more fundamental errors,hidden now,such as why there are nervous RCD's,etc.

As suggested,a recommended electrician,from out of the area,if needed,paid independently,to assess where you are at this point.

I'd volunteer, but it's 70 miles each way, so I'd need to charge additional to cover this. If OP is willing to pay a bit more, then I'm available to give an unbiased report.

some times it the other way round ,do a good job for a customer& don't get paid .
been their & brought the t shirt. try trade and standards they might help.

A pal set-up,SE,about four years back,and joined all those vacuous sales portals....at the time,i told him,he would be better off finding one,that cleared and recommended customers..."What yer on about?...i think you've got it backwards..." he replied.

A recent conversation with him,revealed he now knows "exactly" what i meant

I would rate that as a generous and possibly economical offer.

At least the OP has the opportunity of researching Tel's input and history,and more confidence of being presented with an honest and realistic assessment.

....Just better check your history,Tel,see if you've ever cut an impromptu floor hatch,using a thermal-lance...

Wonder what the original quote said?

thermal lance... too technical for me. semtex is easier.
