EIC to local council out of date??

This is totally on you I'm afraid Sparky, it's your responsibility to notify building control within 28 days of completion.

Go back, complete the installation, re-issue cert and notify.

OP has not been here since 11.17pm Friday.

Sounds like this work was part of an extension, which might of been under planning, certainly building reg approval or building notice.

For the former, sometimes an LBC will encompass the electrical works in the building reg approval. In that case, electrical works do not need a separate notification.

Generally, that would require confirming at the time, something the builder might of overlooked, and the OP thought was going to happen.

Believe some members on here do similar, as not in a Scheme.

Hi, i am not registered with Nic or any other but am fully qualified to certificate. I was asked to do the certification after the work had been done.On previos occasion there has never been a problem and indeed this time the council arent questioning my ability , but want to see the installers qualifications. as he is now fully retired , and lost them many years ago he hasnt got them . So the builder wemt out and got a Part P spark to cert it without my knowledge.I could have got it done but he wouldnt pay .Now as stated he is trying to get the £150 backfrom me.

So you've been certifying someone else's work?

So to get this right.

Your not in any Scheme, but you’ve been working for this builder for some time, testing & certifying another electricians (sparks 1) work, who can’t prove his credentials to carry out electrical work.

For some reason the builder then decides to get a Part P spark (sparks 2) to test & certify this particular job (installed by sparks 1). Sparks 2 then invoices the builder, for carrying out some sort of test & certification, on this job. The builder then asks you to pay sparks 2 bill? (have you received any monies, for this particular job?).

If that’s the case, I wouldn’t have anything more to do with the builder, not pay this invoice, go and speak to Citizens Advice Bureau.
I can’t see the builder has a case, as this arrangement you two have been following is not one of the methods for notification, as prescribed in Part P.

So is this what has happened?

 

[Sparky692]

Basically Yes . Council wont accept the cert now. so he got it retested .Now wants the £150 back he paid .Has really sent some loaded threatening e mails,Small claims courst .Wants my solicitor and states hope he knows his stuff etc.
Going away for a few days on Friday . Will seek some legal advice after.

Sounds like a $hitshow. Only verify your own work and make sure you submit it on time even if someone else says they will do it. Lesson learnt hopefully. ?
