Discuss Hello from Cambridgeshire in the The Welcome Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Hi folks - I'm a trainee working through my 2365 Level 3. I'm in my mid-30s and decided to switch careers after enjoying wiring work on my self-build far too much (yes, it was properly signed off/tested by BC!)
Thanks!Welcome to the forum!
Out of interest how much did BC charge you for the electrical sign off?
Thanks!
It was £190 - although that was paid in 2014. It's £229 now according to the website.
I know some people have found challenges in getting this service from their council but my experience was really good; the guy was helpful and friendly, had a couple visits (after 1st fix to check design, and after 2nd fix for EIC). He even helped on the phone with what to change when I was so slow with the build that the regs went to 18th Ed. (I'd designed and fitted for 17thR3) so I had to redo CU for a metal-clad.
Although, he did insist I add bonding to my all plastic plumbing ("cut in 6 inches of copper and bond to that") despite explicit OSG exemption, so maybe absolute competence isn't to be assumed.
