I've recently passed my first scheme provider (ELECSA) assessment and I'm considering what certification software to go for, so hopefully you guys will be willing to share your experiences, I couldn't find a sticky/poll. I realise this is a regular question asked, but as technology moves with a...
Hi guys,
This is my 3rd post to the forums and concerns electrical regulations and specifically certification. I have recently had a new en-suite fitted, and the quotation included
“Electrician to supply and install new fuse spur in roof space for new shower”
“The price is subject to survey...
If a customer asks me to do a few jobs. E.g. Add some spots, add a socket and put a fan in a bathroom. As the only job notifiable to the labc would be the fan as its in a special location. Would you MW all jobs separately or all as one EIC and then let the building control deal with what's what?
I went to a job today and the customer wanted his 4 way board moved 4 inches so that he could make the cupboard smaller to fit a bigger wardrobe, if you ever. I advised the time and material it would take he might as well put the money towards a half decent custom wardrobe with the wooden meter...
Hi all - I've just had a new electric shower and extractor installed by a builder. I understand that I am meant to receive an Electrical Certificate these days, for all new electrical work done in the bathroom. The builder and an electrician came today to do the certificate, but he has told me...
Hi ereryone in advance.
I've been called to a shop in a petrol station on Saturday, it is a job referral from a trades friend, he told me that the council had had the electrical supply cut off, due to no certification and that the power was running on a generator at the moment, as the petrol...
I'm getting mixed reviews on what you need to do in regards to certification. I am a recently qualified electrician and have no part P, Napit, NIC etc but the firm I work for does so at the moment I have no real need to. But when it comes to my private jobs is it vital that all work no matter...
Hi, I have always made sure my installs have no departures from bs7671 but I'm doing a ccu change next week and have done some preliminary testing and the heating circuit (boiler and heating controls) has low IR readings, had a look in all obvious places and cant find any problems, had trouble...
Hi all, my first proper post,

I'm a NICEIC Domestic Installer but on bunging my postcode into NICEIC's 'Find an Electrician' page after ticking the EICR box, my company didn't show up.
NICEIC tells me that this is quite right and if I want to do EICRs on NICEIC forms and come up in a search I need to become an Approved...
I was wondering if someone could me over my little dilemma if possible!
Basically, we have sold our house and when the buyers solicitor put in their relevant searches, it was revealed that a certificate of compliance has been put in on 20/06/2011. However we havent had work done that would...
Evening all, new to the forum,

Hi everybody, am hoping some of you reading this could provide a bit of guidance on my situation below:
I employed a reputable registered local electrical installation company to install a complete rewire, incl CU in a house I was renovating. This was back in March 2009.
Now I should have been...
If I were to undertake a job that involved say changing a CU what sort of costs would be entailed (other than my labour and parts) ?
There is the Local Authority Notification that seems to be fixed £58.75 < £1000, etc.
What about the Certificates?
If the distributor does not have a switch do...
Ex maintenance electrician (made redundant) with little installation experience but with 17th edition and 2391, and unlikely to do much work anyhow due to dodgy knees but interested to know what certification/notification/etc is required in Scotland for smaller jobs like say : extra sockets...

Hi guys, this is my first post. I have recently completed C&G 2393, and was hoping to build experience before I considered joining any Competent person scheme.
I have however been told that City and Guilds will be changing the course, and if I don't join up to a scheme by April then I...
For example you have a ryefield board with 3 phase incoming cable split into 5 fuses for each meter. 3 meters are 3 flats, 1 for communal area and 1 a small shop unit. Now does ryfield board counts as a shared supply between all of them and therefore should be 5 notifications of each property...
Hi I am looking for a book or dvd for advice on testing and certification.
I am fine doing all the testing but I am useless at form filling and always forget things on my certificates.
Is there anything I can get ?
