Part P sign off problem

[Dustydazzler]

£150 is quite cheap to get the entire job retrospectively signed off i, , I know someone who paid twice that amount to get their rewire signed off after the builder failed to issue any paperwork for the install

Thank you all for your help and advice, much appreciated.

Just my thoughts, yes the job should have been notified to BC, however the Electrician has supplied an EIC by his own hand.
Does that make the cert void just because the job has not been notified to BC. my point is does that make a MWC worthless because of no cps.

Depends if the work is notifiable though, which in this case it is.

electricity is still electricity IMO notification is another matter, we could argue then you can only test circuits and issue certs if only registered with a CPS which is not the case just stating the facts.

No, you always test the work you have done, and always issue a cert. But you only need to notify it if is notifiable.

Or have I misunderstood what you mean?

What I am trying to say is this guy has been provided an EIC from the sparky that done the rewire, notification aside, he has been given a cert with test results etc signed by him, equally he could have done some minor works and issued a MWC, are we saying you can only provide an EIC if in a CPS scheme.

No. Anyone competent can issue an EIC.

Given the recent 'landmark' case where Trading Standards took an electrician to court under consumer protection regulation, I would start by speaking with them and seeing if you have any grounds in a claim.

The contract was awarded to the contractor on the belief that he was CPS registered and at no point did that contractor seek to correct that client, going off what we have above.

Step 1; get off here and get legal advise.

Yep I agree with that, so in my eyes the only mr meaner that has been committed is the rewire not being notified to BC
