We're primarily an Ev charger installer and although this is going well it does leave us exposed if there is a downturn in the car market. For example right now there are supply issues which are slowing car sales and this has a knock-on effect on us.
We're going to change the business to...
Hi guys
These pics were taken because of a electrical fire. 8 flats on one phase
Cowboy electrical guys caused this
What do you think should happen to the landlord he knew about this and did nothing.
Not sure this has been posted on the forum yet, thought it may be of interest. It appears NICEIC are launching a CPS for electricians carrying out EICRs in the domestic sector:

Looks like it's an add-on, as you already have to be...

Hi everyone,

Hi there.
As I understand NAPIT approved contractors automatically are able to carry out PAT testing with there yearly subscription.
Do NICEIC approved contractors get the same benefit? I'm currently just a domestic installer and would have to pay an extra £450+VAT per a year for PAT testing!!
Is there any other way I can get my hands on a gold card? All I have left to do is the portfolio of pictures and its become a right pain to do since I am self-employed. I've done my college, City & Guilds 2330 Level 2 & Level 3, and then I worked with my Dad for a few years, then I left my Dad...

Hi All
I just have my Kitchen done with new sockets, lights etc and they have provided a certificate with only the hob and cooker and it says its an addition.
Would this not come under new and should they included the new lights, light switches installed and plug sockets? I don't want to cause...
Hey folks.
My assessment is at the end of the month. Going to show the assessor my own CU upgrade at my home (which will be completed before he arrives)
Other domestic work I've completed has mainly been for a mate who runs his own company so I dont want to step on his toes and get the NIC in to...

I know this question has been asked in the past but not for some time so I'm looking for the cheapest in 2020? Stroma where by far the cheapest but have now merged with napit.
It appears napit and niceic are both similar prices.
Are these the cheapest or has anyone else out there found a better...
Hi Guys,
I've got my NIC Domestic Installer assessment coming up in a few weeks and am a little concerned about it.
I signed up over the phone, signed and returned the forms, but after re-reading them, I'm a little (lot) concerned.
