I have seen on the NICEIC website that if you are signed up on either the DI or AC schemes then you can get a tradepoint card for discount from B&Q. Admittedly some of the stuff is a bit shoddy. Some of the other stuff less so.
My question though is does anybody have the trade point card via...
An incompetent builder with Napit logo:
No certs
No RCD protection on a number of modified circuits
Mixing different makes of smoke alarms
Cable runs upstairs not in zones with no additional protection
No grommets in back boxes
Fused spur directly behind and above hob
Lengthy spur off ring...
I am really struggling with the section 7 of the Napit Installation Cert.
The reason is because the demo forms I have filled in during the course and examples elsewhere all seem to contradict eachother and it appears many people can't agree either. So by going through forums and looking at...
Am I the only one or are others fed up with getting 3 - 4 spam emails a day because the NICEIC have posted your email online, using mailto so making it real easy for spammers?
I did approach the NICEIC scam who said it was simply a coincidence, I then got them to change the address listed to...
Is anyone else getting annoyed with NICEIC Online?
I've told myself I'm going to make a conscious effort to start using it in an attempt to phase out day to day use of my computer based software Amtech Fasttest. (Which I find clunky and glitchy).
I've just tried to do an EICR and come up against...
Info for anyone currently looking to join,
Whilst I was very nervous the night before, there is no need to be, as long as you know how to test and your upto date with the regs, then this is a breeze,

So I had my very first office and site assessment today which I'm pleased to say I've passed and the assessor said he will put in the report as a pass. Which is good, but....

Hi there, I would be very grateful for any advice. I am getting a new consumer unit fitted in my house and replacement lighting in my kitchen.
The contractor that will be doing the work for me is registered as a NICEIC Approved Contractor. It doesn't mention "Domestic Installer" against his...
just a quick question
quite possibly a question for the NIC however i have been wondering what would stop someone simply copping my certificates and putting different client details on? i have managed to edit PDFs in the past so that wont stop anyone.
essentially what would prevent someone...
whats everyone's view on the QS system used?
How much responsibility should a QS have, should they inspect all installation and testing going on within the company they work for and are they the fall guy if something goes wrong.
Would be interested from all the QS guys on here and the non QS as...
Hey all, prob been asked lots before but is anyone NICEIC registered and can make head or tail of half the documents they require ?
Seems pretty extensive and even saw that they may need a letterhead with company name on or similar too ?
I don't have anything like that as I compile estimates...
I am currently dealing with napit on behalf of a customer.
She had a new cu installed several months ago by a napit registered electrician. She was charged £600. When I arrived to carry out some minor works we found several problems. The new cu was full of holes. Not labelled up. Bus bar cover...
