Hey guys,

Hi All,
Please can you advise on minor works certificates?
Some of our fitters are insisting on charging for two minor works certificates and some only charge for one, when they are doing work in more than one room. I believe that if all the work can be listed on the certificate then that is...
hi guys is it possible to buy Elecsa certs over the counter or can you only get them off there website ? ran out of minor works certs and need them sharpish.
cheers
I've recently installed some LED downlights in several bedrooms in my house, but it has recently been brought to my attention that I need the work inspecting and be issued with a minor works certificate.

For you guys who carry out EICR's on a regular basis. After carrying out an EICR you issue an unsatisfactory certificate to your customer. At a later date the customer request that you carry out the remedial work in order to correct defaults on the installation. Question is, when codes C1...
I have been asked to go to a site where a periodic inspection was carried out in 2013. There were some 1,2,& 3's on the form which was not corrected at the time. The electrician his no longer about. The local authority has asked the owner why the items were not addressed and wants them...

Hi,
I have had 3 phase cut-out and meters for 3 flats moved from my cellar to outside meter cabinet. Sparky has installed switch fuses and around 15 metres of SWA for each flat to relink to old supply point. Work looks decent so I am not disparaging said sparks work. I have a query though.

The two pieces of work to be inspected? If I stick in a new cu, and from that cu run a new circuit, outside light for example would this suffice for both major and minor or do they prefer two separate properties. Sigh
alright chaps,
just a quick one, a few lads who are self employed that I know have told me that notifiable work goes through NIC or chosen body, but minor works ie utilising existing wiring or adding onto a circuit and EICR's are just kept on file and are covered by public liability insurance ...

Hi guys
i carried out an ECR last week and it had a few category 1, 2 and 3. Obviously resulting in a fail which wasn't great news for the client. They said well there's no point in giving us an unsatisfactory cert and asked if I could do the works and issue a satisfactory grade. So iv since...
