Hi All,
I’ve just joined and thought I would throw this out there. I have got my initial sign off (I hope) with the NIC’ next week.
Any advise or tips? What can I expect? Most concerned about the questions they might throw at you and what you have to do to fail.
Wondering why they isn’t a Zs box to fill in,& if Connected to origin do not fill in box.
Also altered the Rcd times,now just entering the x5 trip time.
Why is there no N-E insulation reading ,& a L-L entry,which I would take to be L-N.
Just pondering these thoughts,will phone helpline next...
Hi everyone first time asking on this so sorry if it’s been asked before. I’ve been asked to carry out a rewire in a private house and I’ve recently started my own company so I’m not registered with NICEIC or SELECT as I’m in Scotland. I’ve read conflicting reports that I can and can’t provide...
Hi there,
I’m a confused landlord after a bit of advice please... I had my property renovated including electric 6 years ago. The RCD operating time for lights was tested at 16.4ms back then. Another electrician (arranges by the letting agent) has just completed the updated EICR and failed the...
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.
Hi guys, I’m setting up my own shop after quitting my job with a company. I’m looking to join the Nic or elecsa... question is what’s the difference?
I only plan doing domestic work and AV installs.
I have all the relevant qualifications, apprenticeship, 18th edition, etc.
Thanks
Nathan
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, I've recently moved from paper certification to online. All works ok with my laptop but can't seem to click on options with the iPad! Any ideas greatly welcome.
I am currently employed full time with a medium sized contractor in glasgow, scotland and am aiming to go self employed at some point in the next year. However my 2 preferred trade associations want you to be trading 6 or 12 months before theyll sign you up. The question is how does that work...
Hi everyone,
I am planing to join Domestic Installer with NICEIC. And I am thinking to demonstrate my own home for assessment. I will change consumer unit and install a new light circuit and notify to building control via third party. I just wonder this is acceptable?
I know I can ask this...
Hey guys... Just about to sign up to a new scheme ... And was wandering who to go with ... NICEIC being the favourite for many reasons but also the most expensive ... Has anyone got any recommendations regards other schemes .. thanks
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!!
Got my ELECSA annual assessment on Friday. Doing it on-line. Been brought forward a week as the assessor, who is apparently one of a number who are technically self employed is being kicked into touch by CERTSURE due to the current crisis!
Pardon my ignorance but has anyone had a refund on...
Just thought id let people know i've just completed my NICEIC assessment via Skype, because of the virus.
Was fairly straight forward, he contacted me a few days before to get what he needed via email to make things smoother, really lovely fella. Asked a few technical questions about...
Just had an email come through saying the NICEIC are suspending assessments and will be doing virtual assessments, these will be via the area engineers. could be interesting... I suspect they will take a pragmatic approach to those with experience and good track record etc..
It would be a good...
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...
This question is to those who are niceic. I am an approved contractor, I had my second periodic inspection on this previous Monday. The assessment had started as it usually does 8 till 12 everything went well however I had just realised by chance actually that the niceic had billed me for an...
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...
